Jun 17, 2022

Brock Lesnar returned tonight on SmackDown and will face Roman Reigns at SummerSlam on July 30 in a Last Man Standing match for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.

After Reigns defeated Riddle in a title match in the SmackDown main event tonight, he got on the mic and said that there was no one left, he promised to wreck everyone and leave, and now that he’s wrecked everyone, he’s leaving.

Brock Lesnar’s music then hit and he walked out to the ring and faced down Reigns. He offered to shake Reigns’ hand. Reigns was reluctant, but eventually went to shake his hand, but Lesnar hit him with an F5, then hit each of the Usos with an F5.

Lesnar last wrestled at WrestleMania in April, losing to Reigns.

According to Fightful Select, WWE’s original plan was for Reigns to defend against Randy Orton at SummerSlam, but Orton is dealing with a back injury that could keep him out for months, so the decision was made to bring back Lesnar.
