...for a glorified house show in the desert!

Per Wrestling Observer Radio, Brock Lesnar returned at Hell In A Cell not merely as a convenient excuse to deliver yet another non-finish, but to also wrestle at the 'Crown Jewel' Saudi Arabia show this November. It's a strange name, but then, 'Greatest Survivor Series' can't feasibly come before the actual Survivor Series. 'Greatest Balls Of Fire' was the better option, surely.

We're in for another variation of a Brock Lesnar Vs. Roman Reigns match which, Jesus Christ. It might be funny to see how Vince next plans on putting his pet project over without actually putting him over. Maybe we'll see Roman reload his fist, do a punch, and then try do a Spear, before Lesnar simply leaves the ring, thus setting up the main event of WrestleMania 35.

"You like running away, b*tch? There ain't no escape from New York!"

We are living through an era in which Saudi Arabia is paying Vince so much money that he can simply throw it at whomever he likes. This revelation follows the news that Shawn Michaels is set to make his unlikely return to the ring in Saudi Arabia - imagine reading that sentence in 2014 - because he's in for a prizefighter-level payday. Against. Kane.

That, or because women are not permitted to wrestle on the show, Vince needs somebody to lech over.
