SmackDown on FOX: 5 things WWE got just right on the Season Premiere (Oct 4, 2019)

#1 Introduced Brock Lesnar’s biggest nightmare

It took years for Kofi Kingston’s dreams to materialize into KofiMania, but it took mere seconds for Brock Lesnar to break that dream into two. Even though fans didn’t seem thrilled at the booking or the result, it was interesting to see that WWE turned Lesnar’s win into a living nightmare.

Monday Night RAW saw Lesnar brutally attack Rey Mysterio and his son Dominik, and fans expected the masked legend to interfere in the match and help Kofi retain his title. While Mysterio couldn’t help Kofi, he did bring someone in who could help him exact his own revenge and make Lesnar pay for what he did.

Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez made his way out with Mysterio, and attacked Lesnar straight away, leaving the WWE Champion to scurry to the sanctuary of the arena floor.

Cain was the man who unseated Lesnar in UFC, and we could very well see him do that same to The Beast in WWE. While fans were expecting another boring reign from Lesnar as the Champion after defeating Kofi in 10 seconds, they’re now excited at the thought of watching Cain and Lesnar compete in their very own ring.
