SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...
Sporting a new hairdo, but the same unhinged demeanor as usual, Brock Lesnar returned to the WWE at Summerslam and confronted Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman.
THE BEAST INCARNATE IS HERE AT #SummerSlam!

Roman Reigns defeated John Cena in the main event to retain his WWE Universal Championship. As Reigns celebrated in the ring and stood over Cena, Lesnar’s music hit and he walked to the ring. After circling it, Lesnar got in the ring and faced off with Reigns. Reigns backed away and left the ring as Paul Heyman cowered in fear while Lesnar closed the show posing to the cheering crowd.

Lesnar last appeared in the WWE at WrestleMania 36, losing the WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre. Because of the pandemic, the event did not feature any fans.

Lesnar did not look like the old Lesnar. In other words, he did not prepare physically for this. I have to wonder if this was a late decision by Vince McMahon, to counter the weekend talking-point of Punk’s return? I can easily imagine Vince calling up Lesnar a couple of weeks ago and asking him to come down to Vegas for $$$. While Lesnar-Reigns is a match that should have been planned for (to play off of their history), bring in Lesnar here seemed forced.
Crock looks like he just got out of bed and decided to go to work. This is the equivalent of the Ultimate Warrior wearing a baseball hat. Go back to your farm Crock and don’t come back!
