New Delhi, Oct 17: Brock Lesnar was supposed to be absent from WWE programming for the rest of the year 2017. He defended his title successfully at the No Mercy PPV and went on to a hiatus that was expected to continue until the beginning of 2018.
This is due to his already over-booked WWE schedule in this year in comparison to the previous years.
However, the updates event listing suggest that he will be back from the hiatus, sooner. The beast incarnate has been advertised to appear on the post-TLC PPV episode of Monday Night Raw from where the buildup for Survivor Series PPV will begin. Also, the go-home episode for the PPV is also advertising his presence.
This indicates that the reigning Universal Champion will be a part of the last dual brand PPV of this year hosted by the WWE. Previously, John Cena was expected to feature in the main event spotlight for this event. But, now the champion himself has replaced the franchise player of the company in this place.
