WWE Rumor Roundup: Former WWE champion to join AEW, fan favorite to return as Michael Cole's replacement & more – 1st October 2019

Why Brock Lesnar attacked Rey Mysterio's son

Brock Lesnar brutally attacked Rey Mysterio and his son on Monday Night RAW last night and it stunned the WWE Universe. The fans were not expecting anything of that kind on the show as there was no hint about it.

Talking about the incident on WOR, Dave Meltzer said that the move was just to bring Cain Velasquez into the picture soon. Meltzer said:

Okay, so that Promo, he’s (Paul Heyman) talking about tough guys and he mentioned mixed martial arts and real fighters and nobody can touch him (Brock Lesnar), that was a promo for Cain.

In fact, I think that the whole segment with Rey and everything, it’s like you beat up the Mexican and the Mexican superhero badass comes in. That’s kind of what the idea was behind everything but Cain is not signed either. So, they have an idea, obviously, it’s Brock and Cain and this stuff was in that direction.

It may end up not happening but that’s the destination in theory that this is headed towards.

Will Rey return on Friday Night SmackDown and get his revenge on the Beast Incarnate during his WWE Championship match against Kofi Kingston? Or will Cain Velasquez be making his debut soon?
