Brock Lesnar Destroys Somebody (Or Everybody)
He’s back. Following his 86-second loss to Goldberg at Survivor Series, Brock Lesnar finally makes his return tonight on Raw. But what is the Beast Incarnate going to do on the flagship show? He never wrestles, he barely speaks, but one thing he does do well is hurt people. That, and bounce around menacingly while Paul Heyman talks. But that’s besides the point.
Coming off the loss to Goldberg, Lesnar should be fuming. He’s no stranger to hurting innocent bystanders as we saw when he F5’d a camera man in 2015 and was subsequently suspended. Tonight we could see more of the same. Perhaps not with a camera man, but with a superstar or multiple superstars.
Lesnar should be in a mood where he wants to crush anything that walks. Whether that’s R-Truth, Darren Young, The Shining Stars (please, please be The Shining Stars), or someone else, we’re bound to see some destruction tonight. With Lesnar set to enter the Rumble, he’ll want to make a statement. Just because he lost to Goldberg doesn’t change the fact that he is a beast. We know that, but does the rest of the roster feel the same way? Either way, the beast is back. And he’s angrier than ever.
