WWE Confirms Brock Lesnar's Return, Update On WWE Royal Rumble Universal Title Match
No word yet on the 2018 Royal Rumble opponent for WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar after this week's RAW main event between Kane and Braun Strowman ended in a Double Count Out. The winner of the match was set to face Lesnar at the Rumble on January 28th in Philadelphia. It appears that the match will be a triple threat match featuring Lesnar defending against Strowman and Kane.
On a related note, WWE has confirmed that Lesnar and Paul Heyman will return to TV on next Monday's RAW from Providence, Rhode Island. It's likely that Lesnar's Rumble opponent will be determined next week.
