We witnessed Randy Orton massacred at the hands of Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, but as we saw on SmackDown, The Viper still wants another shot at him. It looks like he's going to get his wish.

In a surprise move, the sequel to their infamous match will happen at a live event in Chicago at the Allstate Arena on Saturday, September 24th.

With Lesnar having so few dates he has to commit to in a year, it's interesting that they would "waste" one on a non-televised appearance. There would certainly be intrigue in seeing if Orton could put up a better fight this time around, even if it was just built as a heavily promoted TV match.

While Lesnar has appeared at a couple house shows in his most recent run against some mid-card opponents, it seems that saving him only for TV and pay-per-view would be a better use of WWE's time and money.

But if you're in Chicago at the time, this is one of your few chances to see Lesnar in action. Also on the card is Roman Reigns vs. Rusev in a U.S. Title match, along with Seth Rollins scheduled to appear.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
