Sami Zayn’s celebration was short-lived as Kayla Braxton reentered the ring in the final moments of SmackDown. She interviewed The Conspiracy Theorist before making a big announcement.

Braxton claimed to receive news that Brock Lesnar's suspension had been lifted and that he'd be back next week. Zayn was shocked by the announcement as the camera cut backstage. A dismayed Roman Reigns exchanged looks with Paul Heyman to end the show.

The Battle Royal was sub-standard but the segment that followed was good enough to pull it back up. Fans will remember what happened to Sami Zayn at the 2019 Money in the Bank pay-per-view.

Next week on SmackDown, Lesnar could return to rob Zayn of an opportunity to challenge for the Universal Championship. It'd be a great way to move The Beast Incarnate in the Universal Championship picture again.

Paul Heyman will again be under the radar after his tall claims. His loyalty will be tested next week, and Lesnar will likely make a controversial statement that could land Reigns’ special counsel in a lot of trouble.
