The November 17 episode of RAW was a big night in Madison Square Garden. The Worlds Most Famous Arena usually brings out the biggest names WWE has to offer, and tonight was no exception.
You never know when Brock Lesnar may return to WWE television at this point. He has been lurking in the shadows since WrestlePalooza. Now, he is back for more destruction.
The closing segment of RAW this week saw the heel team of The Vision and Drew McIntyre come out to hype WarGames. Paul Heyman had the microphone, but then CM Punk made his way out.
Then the rest of the babyface team came out to join the Second City Saint. The babyfaces surrounded the ring before they jumped in to brawl with The Vision and McIntyre. This wasnt just a face-off, as fans chanted OTC, they all brawled all over the ringside area.
Suddenly, Brock Lesnars music hit, and The Beast Incarnate came out with pyro behind him. He made his way out, obviously meaning that he is the 5th man in Paul Heymans WarGames team.
After that, Lesnar took the fight to Punk as he sent him to Suplex City. Then Cody squared off against Brock, and Lesnar hit him with another pair of German Suplexes. WWE RAW ended this week with Brock Lesnar standing tall in the ring, but then Roman Reigns came out to make his presence known.
This is an obvious sign that Roman Reigns is back in the fold, and hes also in the WarGames match. So, it will be Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, The Usos and Roman Reigns against Logan Paul, Bronson Reed, Bron Breakker, Drew McIntyre and Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series. The show cut off as Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns stood toe-to-toe. Then Reigns sent Lesnar out of the ring with a Superman punch.
This years Survivor Series event will go down on Saturday, November 29, 2025, at Petco Park in San Diego, California.
Brock Lesnars return at SummerSlam brought fan backlash and internal frustration, with some staff members privately expressing concerns. WWE has not addressed the lawsuit or allegations involving Lesnar, including claims in Janel Grants lawsuit that led to him being removed from company material for over a year.
As we all know, Brock Lesnar went on to absolutely destroy John Cena at WrestlePalooza. Now that he is coming off of a win from the Greatest of All Time, fans have to wonder how he will be booked next.
