Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted that Brock Lesnar's return program will likely involve Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns on SmackDown. There has been a lot of speculation regarding when The Beast Incarnate will return and who he will challenge:

''The obvious angle right now for a Lesnar return is a storyline involving Heyman and thus Reigns,'' Meltzer noted.

Though Lesnar was last seen as part of the RAW brand, it is likely that he will return to SmackDown now to have a program with The Tribal Chief. Paul Heyman will play an important role in the program as the Wise Man of WWE was associated with Brock Lesnar before he became the special counsel to Roman Reigns on SmackDown.

SmackDown Superstar Aleister Black was one of six names released by WWE a few days back. Black had been featured heavily on SmackDown lately and was all set to begin his feud with Big E.

Speaking on his wife Zelina Vega's Twitch stream, Black revealed what he knew about WWE's plans for him and Big E before he was fired:

"No, all I knew is that the plan was for me and (Big) E to go at it. That's it, that's all I knew. It was supposed to kick-off this Friday, and here we are. That's as much as I know," said Aleister Black.
