WWE RAW: 5 Surprising things that could happen when Brock Lesnar shows up next week

#4 Matt Riddle attacks Brock Lesnar from the back

So, here's the scene on RAW next week. Picture Paul Heyman in the sing, delivering a strong promo saying that The Beast Incarnate does not wish to compete at the Royal Rumble with Brock Lesnar bouncing around, with his trademark grin.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

And then, out of nowhere, Matt Riddle attacks him from the back. Riddle has been very vocal about possibly facing Brock Lesnar in a match and with NXT coming to the same level as RAW and SmackDown, by first moving to the USA Network and then by beating both brands at Survivor Series, I doubt anyone sees Matt Riddle as developmental talent anymore, honestly.

Matt Riddle also has the UFC stamp on him, meaning that he could certainly prove to be a worthy and believable competitor for the WWE Champion, who seems to be quickly running out of opponents at this particular stage.
