No time to waste, there are rumors to read.
Lead Rumor: Brock Lesnar’s return
Brock Lesnar is back in WWE, as he was always going to be, to have one more match with Oba Femi. They split the first two matches, and are upping the stakes for the rubber match — Hell in a Cell.
We learned all this on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw in Atlantic City. According to the Wrestling Observer, the plan had been “in place for a long time.” WWE always knew they were getting to this.
Now, the question becomes whether or not they are going to acknowledge this as the final match in Lesnar’s storied career. The current expectation is that is the case but you just never know in the wacky world of pro wrestling.
Either way, WWE had all this planned long ago.
