Lesnar advertised for next RAW, updated match card for WWE MSG special

Lesnar set to appear on RAW next week

- PWInsider reports that Brock Lesnar has been announced to appear on the RAW emanating from Boston, MA this coming Monday, a day removed from the WWE Network special in MSG. In what can be seen as a clear fallout from the dropping RAW ratings, the appearance by Lesnar could also help with the ratings and further the Lesnar – Taker storyline with their announced Hell in a Cell match.

When the match was announced for Hell in a Cell, more appearances by Lesnar and Undertaker were to be expected. Below is the word put out by WWE, confirming the appearance:

This October, on WWE Network, Brock Lesnar takes fans on the Go to Hell Tour, including a brand new stop in Boston on Monday Night Raw this Monday, October 5.

On Oct. 19 immediately following Raw, The Beast will step behind the mic and answer questions from The Texas Rattlesnake in a live, no-holds barred interview on a brand-new Stone Cold Podcast. Finally, on Oct. 25 at 8 ET/5PT, the fiercest rivalry in recent memory will continue at Hell in a Cell when Lesnar clashes with The Undertaker in Satan’s Playground!

- Also coming from the WWE is a confirmation of the John Cena vs Seth Rollins match inside a steel cage for the said MSG live event. The match will be for John Cena’s United States championship.

This should be a series-ender in the feud which has seen both Rollins and Cena tied at 1 win each, from Summerslam and Night of Champions respectively. WWE posted the below on the website:
