Brock Lesnar will make his return to the WWE on the August 13th edition of Raw. He is currently being advertised for the Raw SuperShow that takes place just one week before WWE SummerSlam on August 19th where he is scheduled to face Triple H in the main event. The August 13th Raw is the only upcoming show Lesnar is currently advertised for and although WWE would like to use him sooner, they are banged to rights with his limited contract dates. Internally, the WWE wanted him to return on the July 27th episode of Raw which is the 1,000th episode and the first in a permanent switch to three hours that would boost ratings and give significant build up to SummerSlam but they can't afford to burn through Lesnar's dates more than they absolutely have to. Before Lesnar returns, his "legal advisor" Paul Heyman will continue on WWE television to progress the storyline and act as his representative. Meanwhile, as we saw on WWE Raw last night, Lesnar dominates the marketing for the biggest show of the year...
