Brock Lesnar might make an appearance in Riyadh this Saturday.
‘The Beast Incarnate’ Brock Lesnar has been the talk of the town since he teased his retirement from WWE at WrestleMania 42. The Beast Incarnate returned a month later and attacked the man who defeated him at the Show of Shows, Oba Femi.
He went on to defeat him at the Clash in Italy; since then, The Ruler has repeatedly called him out. So, here are five reasons Lesnar can return to WWE at their next PLE, Night of Champions:
5. Cost Oba Femi his match
One of the predicted scenarios could see Brock Lesnar make an appearance during Oba Femi’s match at Night of Champions. He is scheduled to wrestle Jey Uso in the King of the Ring finals. The Beast could return to cost Femi a major opportunity after The Ruler repeatedly fired shots at him, leading up to the event.
