WWE Officially Announces Ex-Universal Champion Is Returning On 7/13 RAW

Ex-Universal Champion Brock Lesnar was absent from this week’s WWE Raw at Allstate Arena. He’s advertised to return to the show next week.

Since The Beast Incarnate was absent, his manager, Paul Heyman, addressed the Chicago crowd on the mic. Heyman spoke about Lesnar’s upcoming Hell in a Cell match against Oba Femi at SummerSlam. Moments later, Femi interrupted him.

Heyman said that Brock would put an end to Oba’s reign of terror. He reminded everyone that “Brocktagon” had beaten The Undertaker not once but twice inside Hell in a Cell, and Femi would suffer the same fate when the two meet inside the unforgiving steel cage structure next month.

In response, Femi confidently stated that he would beat Lesnar in front of his friends and family at SummerSlam, which is set to take place in Lesnar’s hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota. He added that he is on a quest to attain salvation, and to do that, he needs to destroy the man standing in his way, i.e., Brock Lesnar.

Femi then told Heyman that he needs to walk through hell to go to heaven and therefore, he’ll meet his client in hell next month. Femi’s chilling message left Heyman speechless in the middle of the ring.

Brock Lesnar Scheduled To Return On WWE RAW 7/13

WWE has officially announced that next week’s Monday Night Raw episode, which will take place at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas on July 13, 2026, will feature the return of Brock Lesnar. It’d be interesting to see how Brock would react to Oba’s threat.

Next week’s WWE Raw will also see the return of Roman Reigns. Amid his absence from the show, his SummerSlam opponent, Seth Rollins, criticized him for not showing up to work during his in-ring promo segment.

Rollins claimed that Reigns didn’t make an appearance on this week’s red brand show because either he didn’t feel the need to show up or the check wasn’t big enough for him.
