Brock Lesnar made a surprise return to WWE on Monday Night Raw, setting up a match for WWE Clash in Italy. Other matches were added to Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Despite it looking as though Brock Lesnar had retired at WWE WrestleMania 42 after losing to Oba Femi, The Beast Incarnate is back as of Monday Night Raw on May 18, 2026. Lesnar jumped Femi from behind as The Ruler was waiting to see who would take him up on The Oba Femi Open Challenge that has been going on for the past few weeks. After a commercial break, Paul Heyman presented Raw General Manager Adam Pearce with a contract for a rematch between Lesnar and Femi for WWE Clash in Italy, coming up Sunday, May 31st.
At the start of the show, Jacob Fatu brawled with Roman Reigns and The Usos before putting out a challenge to The Original Tribal Chief to face him again, this time in Tribal Combat. Reigns accepted and the match was later announced as official for Clash in Italy as well.
Before that takes place, though, there will be Saturday Night’s Main Event coming up this weekend, which now also has a few more matches.
Since Brie Bella and Paige retained the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship titles over The Judgment Day’s Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez, they will now defend those belts against The Irresistible Forces (Nia Jax and Lash Legend) this Saturday.
Sol Ruca and Becky Lynch are also going to face off in non-title match action, spawned from an interaction those two had on tonight’s episode of Raw.
With all that in mind, here are the updated lineups for the two premium live events:
WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event 44
- Non-Title Match: Sol Ruca vs Becky Lynch
- Singles Match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship: Penta (c) vs Ethan Page
