This week’s Monday Night Raw opened with a surprise return, as Paul Heyman started the show in the middle of the ring. “The Advocate,” fresh off being fired as Roman Reigns’ “Special Counsel” last month, introduced Lesnar to the arena as the pair re-established their working relationship. Lesnar kicked things off by calling out Reigns, claiming he was the “real” world champion and told the crowd to acknowledge him. Heyman then ran down every potential challenger for Lesnar’s title, confirming that the winner of Big E vs. Bobby Lashley vs. Seth Rollins vs. Kevin Owens later in the night would challenge for the title at Royal Rumble on Jan. 29.
