On the latest edition of RAW, WWE Champion Brock Lesnar learned who he will face in the Royal Rumble, with Bobby Lashley earning a match against The Beast Incarnate. After The All-triumph Mighty’s over Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins, and Big E, he was asked to react right away. Instead of acknowledging Lashley, Lesnar focused his attention on Roman Reigns. The nine-time WWE world champion told journalist Kevin Patrick that he will meet The Tribal Chief on this week’s SmackDown programme. The All-Mighty was celebrating in the ring with MVP at the time.

“A comment? I do have a comment. Tell Roman Reigns I’ll see him this Friday on SmackDown,” Brock Lesnar said.

Brock Lesnar appears to be juggling numerous stories at the same time. His fight with Reigns is far from over, and at Royal Rumble, Bobby Lashley will be ready for the WWE Champion.

Incredible title victory

The bout between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship was originally scheduled for Day 1, but it was cancelled after The Tribal Chief tested positive for COVID-19. As a result, The Beast Incarnate was added to the event’s other world title contest.
