We noted before how the Beast Brock Lesnar was being advertised for the December 18th episode of Raw on the website of T mobile arena. Although at that time his return wasn’t confirmed by WWE.
Now the company has confirmed that the Beast will be returning to WWE programming during next week’s episode of Monday Night Raw via the following tweet:
NEXT WEEK: #UniversalChampion @BrockLesnar RETURNS to #RAW with @HeymanHustle, as we are about to learn who his challenger will be at @WWE #RoyalRumble! pic.twitter.com/jcCchh6eoC

As seen on this week’s episode of the Red Branded Show, Braun Strowman and Kane battled each other in a #1 contenders match for the Universal title.
However, there was no clear winner in the match between these two giants and they both were counted out by the referee, leaving the audience questioning about the future of the Universal Championship.
At this point, it’s not confirmed who will challenge the Universal Champion for his title at the upcoming PPV, but seeing the popularity of Braun, he looks to be a more likely opponent for Lesnar than Kane
