After a long absence Brock Lesnar finally made his surprise return to WWE at SummerSlam when he confronted Roman Reigns after the main event.
PWInsider is now reporting that current plans call for Brock Lesnar to work as a face going forward, and he’s now firmly on the babyface side of the SmackDown roster. It was also noted that this is the first time Lesnar has technically worked as a babyface since the early 2000s.
It was recently reported that the original idea was to do Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns at WrestleMania in 2023, but WWE is considering moving the match up possibly to Crown Jewel in October, or Survivor Series in November.
WWE is teasing a Brock Lesnar appearance for this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown. Stay tuned for updates.
Witness the #SummerSlam fallout this Friday as we have a NEW #SmackDown Women's Champion in @BeckyLynchWWE & a returning BEAST in @BrockLesnar!
