– Brock Lesnar is set to appear on Raw next week.

The Universal Champion will be on the show just days before he’s due to defend the title in a Steel Cage Match against Roman Reigns at the Greatest Royal Rumble.

Lesnar has been the subject of much speculation in recent weeks, as it wasn’t known if he was set to stay with the WWE or if he was going to UFC. After a number of teases, it was announced the day after WrestleMania that he had signed a short-term deal with WWE and would be defending the Universal Championship in Saudi Arabia.

– On the first night of the Superstar Shake-up, Chad Gable was among those sent from SmackDown LIVE to Monday Night Raw. As a result, he will no longer be teaming with Shelton Benjamin.
