What happened in this week's dark segment?

There was no sign of Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman during last night's Raw broadcast, but the duo made their presence felt once the cameras had stopped rolling.

The Beast and his Advocate surprised the Portland audience by emerging from backstage and issuing an open challenge, which was soon answered by Big Show.

Show lost to Lesnar at a WWE live event in Salt Lake City on Saturday night, and he didn't fare any better in Portland. The World's Largest Athlete immediately went for a Chokeslam after entering the ring, but Lesnar hit him with an F5 instead, then left alongside his manager. Heyman's promo aside, the whole segment reportedly lasted less than a minute.

There was no sign of Lesnar's rival, Goldberg, who had accepted Brock's WrestleMania 33 challenge earlier in the show. Goldberg is also set to face WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens at Fastlane on March 5th, and there's now a strong chance his final battle with Lesnar will be for Raw's top championship.

Lesnar is currently advertised for five more Raw appearances between now and WrestleMania, but not the March 27th go-home show in Philadelphia, bizarrely. Photos and a video clip from last night's dark segment can be found below:-
