As if on cue, Brock Lesnar made an appearance on WWE Raw this Monday night, turning up on the show's season premiere to kick off what is likely a feud to culminate at the upcoming Crown Jewel PLE in Saudi Arabia next month.

Lesnar has not been seen on WWE programming since losing to Roman Reigns in a wild SummerSlam 2022 battle for the Undisputed WWE Universal Heavyweight Championship. That match saw Brock use a tractor to literally lift the ring into the air, creating a surreal scene that won't soon be topped.

Monday, Lesnar interrupted a Bobby Lashley promo prior to the United States Champion defending his title. It looked like we might get a staredown between the two, who traded the WWE Championship earlier this year before Brock lost it to Reigns at WrestleMania 38.

Instead, Brock hoisted Lashley up and delivered an F-5 before snapping off a German suplex and another F-5, and finally cinching in a Kimura to Bobby. The assault directly contributed to Lashley losing his US title moments later to Seth Rollins.

Afterwards, Lashley demanded that Lesnar meet him on Raw next week, which presumably will set up a match between the two at Crown Jewel.
