8 Burning Questions For WWE Raw (Oct 24)

2. What Havoc Will The Beast Wreak?

So WWE is going all-in on a 2004 rematch between Goldberg and Brock Lesnar. We’ve had Paul Heyman lay down the challenge and Goldberg pick it up, so Monday is Lesnar’s opportunity to weigh in.

We haven’t seen Brock since SummerSlam, when he busted Randy Orton’s head open and gave him a concussion. And Lesnar really hasn’t been in much of a groove in 2016, getting tossed by the Wyatt Family at the Royal Rumble, beating Dean Ambrose pretty handily at WrestleMania and fighting Orton. That’s a pretty disjointed run for the year.

But in pitting the Beast against Goldberg, WWE is reaching back in time in the hopes that it will spark some serious fan interest. And with Brock coming to Raw Monday night, you have to wonder if he’ll do anything other than stand menacingly in the ring while Heyman runs down the former two-time world champion.
