Brock Lesnar has been confirmed for this coming Friday's edition of SmackDown.

The new WWE Champion, who won the belt during a chaotic Fatal-5-Way at Day 1, appeared on Raw and warned that he has unfinished business with Roman Reigns. It seems WWE hasn't forgotten about the planned Lesnar vs. Reigns match after all.

Brock told backstage announcer Kevin Patrick: "Tell Roman Reigns I'll see him on SmackDown".

Of course, Reigns has been isolating after contracting COVID-19, but WWE will want to finish off his feud with Lesnar at some point. All signs point towards a blow-off match at WrestleMania 38 in early-April - Brock will collide with Bobby Lashley at the Royal Rumble on 29 January before then.

Who knows what WWE's plans will be for Roman come that pay-per-view. He could have an interim Universal Title opponent of his own, or the company might have him show up to interfere in Lesnar's match with Lashley.

One thing is for sure: Brock will be on FOX this Friday night. WWE will be hoping that a WWE Champ vs. Universal Champ segment will pop a big rating...if Roman is able to appear.
