Plans have changed and a major WWE star will appear tonight on Monday Night Raw, despite not being previously advertised.
PWInsider Elite is reporting that Brock Lesnar has been spotted in town ahead of tonight’s show. Lesnar lost to Cody Rhodes at Backlash but the way the match was booked, it came across like Cody got a fluke win just as Lesnar was seconds away from making Cody tap out.
The finish leaves the door open for Brock and Cody to have a rematch so Brock’s appearance tonight on Raw could be to set up a match at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia.
Cody is scheduled to compete in the World Heavyweight Title tournament that begins tonight. As was first reported earlier by the @BoozerRasslin insider Twitter account, it will be Cody Rhodes vs. Finn Balor vs. The Miz in a Triple Threat match. The other Triple Threat match scheduled for tonight is Seth Rollins vs. Damian Priest vs. Shinsuke Nakamura. The winners of those Triple Threat matches will wrestle each other later in the night. One would presume that Lesnar might get involved somehow.
Tonight’s Raw is also the first night when the WWE Draft rosters take effect. Click here for news on a stable that is rumored to be reuniting soon.
