Brock Lesnar was being advertised for a face to face confrontation with Roman Reigns on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw, but Lesnar never ended up appearing on the show.
Since then there’s been a lot of talk about why Brock wasn’t part of Raw this week, and it looks like WWE is playing into the speculation.
The company recently posted an update saying that they had reached out to Paul Heyman and Raw General Manager Kurt Angle for an update regarding Lesnar’s status, and now it appears that Paul Heyman has responded.
Universal Champion Brock Lesnar is currently being advertised for the WWE live event in Chicago on Saturday, and Paul Heyman has confirmed that his client will be fulfilling his contractual obligations.

The official website for the United Center is advertising that Brock Lesnar will be defending his Universal Championship against Kane.
As of right now Brock Lesnar is still scheduled to defend the Universal Championship against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 34. It was recently reported that WWE officials want the build up for the match to come off like a shoot and make it look as real as possible, so it seems that they’ll be having some fun with rumors and speculation regarding Brock Lesnar’s status in the weeks to come.
