Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley had a grudge match tonight at WWE Elimination Chamber 2023. The Beast incarnation reportedly went off-script during the show. Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley had a fast-paced, high-action match that ended when Lesnar low-blowed Lashley after being unable to get out of Hartlock. The referee ended the bout and awarded Lashley the win by disqualification. He then cleared a table of ringside announcers and hit Bobby Lashley with his F5. Lesnar did not stop and gave the referee another F5 at the announcer’s table, which had already been broken.

Bryan Alvarez reported on his Twitter subscription feed that Lesnar’s second ringside F5 was not planned. A similar incident happened last month when Bobby Lashley eliminated his Beast Incarnate from a Royal Rumble match. An enraged Lesnar attacked the ringside referee and threw him over the barricade. After the spot, Lesnar was reported to have had a fever backstage but did nothing. Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley at WWE Elimination Chamber 2023 looked like the final chapter of their rivalry. 

However, the way the match ended leaves the door open for a future rematch. While there’s no denying the possibility of a rematch at WrestleMania 39, recent reports suggest that WWE will be returning to Intercontinental at Show of Show. Champion Gunther and Lesnar are scheduled to play against each other. “Brock vs. Gunther is currently Mania’s work plan. Brock/Lashley will have their final match this weekend. Brock/Gunther is talking about a possible shot at his IC title,” he reported to Xero News.

Another interesting point about him is Bray’s Wyatt warning against Brock his Lesnar and Bobby his Lashley. On Friday night, Elimination took place in front of his chamber with his SmackDown, and Bray his Wyatt appeared in the ring with Uncle Howdy. World Eater announced they were eyeing the winner of the match between Lesnar and Lashley. Despite not winning the match cleanly, Lashley still claimed victory for DQ. Will there be a match between Bray Wyatt and Bobby Lashley at WrestleMania 39?  

As part of the pedigree story, Reigns accused Zayn of “breaking up my family” and vowed to embarrass Zayn in front of fans in his hometown of Montreal, Quebec, Canada on Saturday night. Interestingly, last week’s “SmackDown” ended with Paul Heyman instructing The Usos to “stay at home” and see what they can’t see while in the arena. I wasn’t thrilled to see share a fist pump. Will Jay still show up in Montreal? 

He will return to the company in early 2023. Joe Ellen Lyons Dillon, Jeffrey R. Speed, and Alan M. Wexler have been removed from the WWE Board of Directors with immediate effect, with the written consent of the former Royal Rumble winners, and replaced by Michelle Wilson and George Barrios. Additionally, Stephanie McMahon announced her retirement from all positions within the company, leaving Nick Kahn as the sole CEO. Triple H will continue to serve as his CCO and Head Booker.
