So assuming Lesnar is now at every Raw leading up to Rumble can we also assume he maybe in the Rumble match as well? They wouldn't bring him in this early in the Rumble/Mania build if they weren't going to have him at the PPV in some capacity right? There's buzz going around that Lesnar wants to (or has) negotiate an on the side fight deal with UFC (for at least one money match). So the scuttlebutt is that WWE's going to blow their wad on contracted Lesnar appearances between now & Mania, 'cause he probably won't be back in the ring in WWE 'til Mania 31. That said, this is just the rumor. A lot of people (rightfully) have pointed out how much both WWE and UFC could have to lose on a deal like this, in addition to Dana and Vince not exactly being receptive to sharing.

Imagine the mindf***ery if tomorrow on RAW, they talk about and hype up the "rumors" of Brock being at the show, and Mark Henry hears that Lesnar is supposed to have a problem with him, which is what leads him to challenging Brock and getting attacked.

They're fast approaching their TV rights renewals, and they're likely hoping the news gets out to increase RAW's ratings, as well as Smackdown's. Everything WWE does between now and then will be with the sole purpose of improving their base and strengthening their bargaining position.

In that case, expect a lot of big angles (returns, title changes, etc.) in the next few weeks and months.

That's if it works, of course, otherwise there's no fox involved whatsoever.

I'd laugh if Brock didn't show up on-screen, instead with the angle in question just playing out as Henry being left unconscious and apparently beaten up by Lesnar.

Final spoilers:
CM Punk and The Usos defeated The Shield when Punk hit the GTS on Ambrose.
They re-tape a Bad News Barrett segment from earlier. Barrett has a new podium.

They wouldn't bring him in this early in the Rumble/Mania build if they weren't going to have him at the PPV in some capacity right? There's buzz going around that Lesnar wants to (or has) negotiate an on the side fight deal with UFC (for at least one money match). So the scuttlebutt is that WWE's going to blow their wad on contracted Lesnar appearances between now & Mania, 'cause he probably won't be back in the ring in WWE 'til Mania 31. That said, this is just the rumor. A lot of people (rightfully) have pointed out how much both WWE and UFC could have to lose on a deal like this, in addition to Dana and Vince not exactly being receptive to sharing. I thought he was down to just enough Lesnar appearances to promote Mania
