The entire pro wrestling world was shocked when Bill Goldberg returned to action before Survivor Series 2016, then hammered Brock Lesnar in less than 90 seconds come the pay-per-view itself. People might've pretended they'd predicted it, but few actually did. It was a genuine surprise, and a good one.

Repeating the trick with a twist in 2022 wouldn't work.

Like the previous entry involving McIntyre and Kross, Bobby Lashley is already 1-0 against Lesnar. He won their first bout at Royal Rumble, and that could mean he's about to get destroyed in quick fashion by a fired-up Brock over in Saudi; maybe not in 90 seconds, but within a few short minutes.

Imagine Lesnar interrupts Bob's entrance and F5s him on the ramp/at ringside. He'd then roll him in the ring, the bell would sound, and another onslaught of German suplexes/F5s would get the job done. That 2016 reprise sounds a bit too short to be satisfying for these guys.

Could happen.
