Brock Lesnar Meets With Former Ally on SmackDown Ahead of Wrestlepalooza, Hints at Potentail Reunion
Brock Lesnar opened the September 19 edition of Friday Night SmackDown tonight, and, as expected, he spread utter chaos inside the ring before the night even started.
Lesnar was in the mood to do some damage, and he picked Michael Cole (who was walking backstage) as his victim. He carried the WWE announcer to the ring like a baby in one hand and shoved him down, looking to prey on him.
However, Corey Graves, who was present ringside, mustered up some courage to save his friend, Cole, and he paid for it by eating up two F5s. Well, it was the biggest mistake of his life, because as Paul Heyman used to say, “You shall not provoke The Beast.”

Speaking of Paul Heyman, as Lesnar went backstage, he bumped into his former advocate, Paul Heyman, who had a big smirk on his face. The Oracle stood alongside Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker. Before Lesnar went away, Heyman said to him, “We should talk.” Lesnar then tapped Heyman on the chest. Heyman nodded, and Lesnar left.
“Broker a peace”?

Heyman began serving as Brock Lesnar’s advocate and on-screen manager in WWE when Lesnar debuted on the main roster in 2002. They separated the same year and then reunited in 2012 and worked together on-screen till 2020.
Tonight’s Lesnar-Heyman interaction could be a hint that their reunion is in the works again. Heyman currently serves Seth Rollins, so we’ll have to wait and see how this will pan out.
