After a wild show-opening brawl that destroyed the Raw ringside area and required a couple of dozen people to break it up, Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley will once again collide in a one-on-one match next month at WWE Crown Jewel.

The two heavyweights will square off for the first time in 10 months, with Lesnar looking to get revenge after losing his WWE Championship to Lashley at the Royal Rumble in January. (Brock regained the title weeks later inside the Elimination Chamber.)

Lesnar made a surprise return last week, attacking Lashley in advance of his scheduled United States Championship defense against Seth Rollins. The Drip God picked up the win and the title by defeating a wounded Lashley. On Monday, Lashley made Lesnar pay, calling him out and then laying him out by spearing him through the barricade and slamming him through the announce desk.

Later in the show, it was confirmed that the two would tangle at Crown Jewel, a match that could be a wild brawl that only lasts a few minutes but leaves a ton of carnage.
