Brock Lesnar is set to go up against Roman Reigns at WWE Day 1, and we have some exciting news ahead of the big clash. The Beast Incarnate was back on SmackDown this Friday and ended up attacking Sami Zayn once again.
Bayley was not happy with the attack on Zayn this week and sent a hilarious threat to Brock on her Instagram live. We have more on that later in the article, along with some news about a possible double switch involving Lesnar and Reigns.
Brock Lesnar has been involved in a couple of interesting segments with Zayn over the last two weeks, and the former Intercontinental champion had a few words for the Beast on his social media.
Let us get into the top news and rumors related to Brock Lesnar this week:
#5. Big plans for Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns at WWE Day 1?
WWE is building up for a main event showdown between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns at WWE day 1. The Beast Incarnate is keen to get his hands on the title again, and Dave Meltzer claims WWE has a big finish planned.
The Wrestling Observer journalist claims the two are expected to main event WrestleMania this year, which could be their rematch. He said:
"At this point, Reigns vs. Lesnar is scheduled to be a match designed to have a big finish that would leave people wanting a rematch, which at this point would be the WrestleMania main event."
Continuing to talk about WWE Day 1, Meltzer added WWE were looking to go ahead with the new pay-per-view as one of the six big shows of the year.
"So the idea is that to create a new show that will, based on tradition, hopefully evolve into a big six show [the idea is that there is a big five now, Rumble, Mania, Money in the Bank, SummerSlam and Survivor Series] means you have to load up the shows early on."
#4. Sami Zayn claims Brock Lesnar has ruined his life
Sami Zayn was brutally attacked twice by Brock Lesnar in recent weeks. The former Intercontinental champion had a message for the Beast on his Twitter and posted: "This man is ruining my life."
Zayn and Lesnar might be an odd pairing, but the two could be back together in the ring next week as their interactions have been well received by the WWE Universe. The segments between the two superstars have helped showcase Lesnar's promo ability, something rarely seen due to Lesnar's usual alliance with Paul Heyman.
#3. Bayley sends warning to Brock Lesnar
Bayley was talking to her fans on her Instagram live when she was asked about Brock Lesnar's treatment of Sami Zayn. Hilariously, she went on to send a warning to the Beast and claimed she would untie his shoelaces when she meets him next.
"Sami Zayn said his feelings are hurt worse than his neck, but he's gonna make a comeback. So, any of you guys are concerned, Sami Zayn is just fine. You send Brock a message that, if I see him, I'm gonna untie his shoelaces."
Bayley needs to return to WWE TV to 'untie Brock Lesnar's shoelace,' which might not be far off. The former champion confirmed she is recovering well from her injury. She did not want to disclose a date for her return but teased that it would soon.
The Role Model has been out of action since July because of an ACL injury.
#2. Brock Lesnar teases reunion with Paul Heyman
Ever since Paul Heyman joined forces with Roman Reigns, the question of what would happen to the Advocate when Brock Lesnar inevitably returned has always been in the air. Even now, four months after Lesnar's return at SummerSlam, fans are still speculating about where Heyman's true allegiance lies.
This week, the Beast teased a reunion on SmackDown and asked Kayla: "Why don't you ask my advocate Paul Heyman?"
#1. Double turn at WWE Day 1?
Brock Lesnar is the babyface going into his clash against Roman Reigns, despite taking out Sami Zayn twice in the last two weeks. However, former WWE manager Dutch Mantell does not believe that will be the case for long.
He predicts a double turn at WWE Day 1 with the Beast Incarnate turning heel and the Tribal Chief becoming the babyface in the storyline. He was on the latest episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk with Sid Pullar III, Rick Ucchino, and professional wrestling journalist Bill Apter.
"I predicted that on Day 1, we may do a double switch where Heyman helps Brock beat Roman, thereby turning Roman babyface and Brock back heel," said Mantell. "I think that could work."
