Brock Lesnar is the current WWE Universal Champion, and he won the belt after he defeated Goldberg at WrestleMania 33 back in April. Brock Lesnar hasn’t been seen on Raw since the night after WrestleMania 33, but this week he’ll be making his return to WWE programming.
Samoa Joe earned the right to challenge Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship after he won a fatal 5-way match at Extreme Rules, and he’ll be getting his shot at Great Balls of Fire in July.
Last week on Raw Samoa Joe met Paul Heyman in the ring, and he sent a message to Brock Lesnar when he choked out his advocate using the Coquina Clutch. WWE won’t be wasting any time tonight, as Raw will kick off with an appearance from Brock Lesnar.
WWE posted the following teaser on WWE.com:
“One week after Samoa Joe put Brock Lesnar’s advocate, Paul Heyman, in the excruciating Coquina Clutch, the Universal Champion is coming to Raw to answer his challenger for the title at the WWE Great Balls of Fire pay-per-view event. What will transpire when The Beast Incarnate kicks off the show at 8/7 C on USA Network? Also on Raw, The Hardy Boyz face Cesaro & Sheamus in a rematch for the Raw Tag Team Titles!”
