Brock Lesnar To Face Sheamus At WWE Live Event Next Month

The Beast seeks to conquer The Celtic Warrior.

When Brock Lesnar announced on ESPN€™s Sportscenter this past March that he€™d be staying with WWE for another three years, WWE fans around the globe rejoiced at getting to see more of The Beast. One of the most exciting parts of Brock€™s new contract is that he€™s working additional live event dates. Last night fans in the Houston, Texas area were in for a treat when a local ad aired announcing that Brock Lesnar would be in action on January 8th at the live event in the Toyota Center where he€™ll go one on one with Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Sheamus. While The Celtic Warrior isn€™t a massive headline name, he€™s a wrestler that many fans have expressed would be a solid opponent for Lesnar and that their stiff styles would compliment each other. In 2015 alone, Brock worked three live events, starting with a squash victory over Kofi Kingston in Tokyo on the WWE Network, followed by slaying the giant of The Big Show in the hallowed grounds of Madison Square Garden this past October and earlier this month facing off against Alberto Del Rio at a live event in LA€™s Forum. While fans across the world would love to see more of Lesnar in action on their screens, you never know when he might end up in your area. Houston, we have a problem and he€™s coming on January 8th.
