WWE held its much awaited live event in Mexico City, Mexico on 3rd December 2016 which featured Brock Lesnar's highly anticipated return to the ring after his crushing loss to Goldberg at Survivor Series last month. The show also featured three title fights and a return for the fan-favourite diva, Emmalina.
Brock Lesnar’s appearances have always been a talking point in the wrestling world, even if it for a non-televised live event. The Beast Incarnate suffered a shocking loss in under two minutes against Goldberg last month and the WWE Universe was anxious to see how Lesnar would bounce back from his defeat.
Lesnar returned to the ring against the Bulgarian Brute, Rusev, and as expected, Brock dominated the match and registered a victory over the Super-Athlete in just a few minutes. Lesnar delivered four suplexes and an F5 to squash Rusev uncompromisingly.
Here are the full results from the Live event:
