WWE has officially announced that Brock Lesnar, also known as "The Beast Incarnate," will appear on the upcoming episode of WWE Raw on Monday in Atlanta, Georgia. This comes after Lesnar's participation in the recent Royal Rumble event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he had multiple confrontations with former NXT Champion Oba Femi.

Why it matters

Lesnar's return to WWE Raw is highly anticipated by fans, as his appearances are often met with excitement and anticipation. This announcement also fuels speculation about a potential WrestleMania match between Lesnar and Femi, which was rumored but not confirmed following the Royal Rumble.

The details

During the Royal Rumble, Lesnar entered at #22 and had several confrontations with Oba Femi throughout the match, ultimately eliminating Femi from the bout. While many fans assumed Lesnar vs. Femi would be the plan for WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, Dave Meltzer reported that the match was not 100% confirmed. Lesnar's return to Raw will also feature a tribute to AJ Styles, who lost a career-threatening match to GUNTHER at the Royal Rumble, seemingly retiring the "Phenomenal One."
