With a Saudi Arabia premium live event on the horizon, it shouldn’t have been a surprise that Brock Lesnar made his return to WWE for the first time since SummerSlam on Raw Monday night.

The Beast came out before Bobby Lashley’s United States Championship defense to a thunderous ovation, slapping hands with fans and looking like we could get a respect showdown between the two behemoths.

Instead, Lesnar hoisted Bobby up on his shoulders and delivered an F-5. He then hit a German suplex and another F-5 before locking in a Kimura, just to really crank it in on the champ. This of course paves the way for Brock and a now-title-less Lashley to collide at Crown Jewel next month.

But first, the All Mighty called Brock out to meet him at Raw next week, so let’s see what happens there to set the table.
