Brock Lesnar hadn’t been seen on WWE television since defeating Bobby Lashley at Crown Jewel in November 2022, but now The Beast is back.
In the main event of the special 30th anniversary of Monday Night Raw, Austin Theory put his United States Title on the line against Bobby Lashley. The former champion won his way into the match with a victory in a six-man elimination bout the previous week.

Following a match punctuation by chairs, a fire extinguisher, and Theory getting drilled through a table, it appeared that Lashley was heading for the win. However, Brock Lesnar had other ideas.
With just seconds to go until the end of the show, Lesnar appeared and hit Lashley with an F-5. He then followed that up with a second F-5 on Theory, who he planted onto a prone Bobby Lashley. Theory may have retained his title, but he knew very little about it as the referee made the three count.
Lesnar’s return comes after Bobby Lashley stated in a recent interview that he wanted to face The Beast one more time. Not only that he wanted the match to be No Holds Barred. After Lesnar made his presence felt on Raw 30, the All-Mighty just might get his wish.
“I like the kind of contests where it can make me push myself,” said Lashley. “I like to fight. Brock likes to fight. There’s a lot of similarities between the two of us, so I think that next matchup is what everybody wants to see will be No holds barred. It’s probably gonna come to a point where we’re gonna get locked in a cage or an extreme rules match or something like that. But it’s about to happen.”
Elsewhere on the show, The Usos retained the Raw Tag Team Titles with a win over Judgment Day after Sami Zayn was forced to stand in for Jimmy Uso mid-way through the match.
