As we noted over the weekend via The Herald Sun in Australia, WWE is expected to announce sometime during WrestleMania 34 that the company, along with Vist Victoria will be holding an event at The Melbourne Cricket Ground one week after the AFL Grand Final, which takes place on September 29th.
During WWE Raw tonight, announcer Michael Cole confirmed the Australia event will be taking place at a “large venue” in October of this year, however, he did not mention the specific date or venue name. The event is likely to be announced as a PPV also airing on WWE Network, with The MCG having a capacity of over 100,000.
Paul Heyman Name Drops UFC On WWE Raw, Brock Lesnar Segment Set For Next Week
As seen on WWE Raw tonight, Paul Heyman cut a promo responding to Roman Reigns’ comments on Raw last week, and during the promo Heyman laid the WWE Universal Title down on in the middle of the ring as a gauntlet. Heyman said he received permission from Brock Lesnar to handle the title tonight, and that after Lesnar successfully defends the title at WrestleMania 34, he will return to the ring once again with the Universal Championship in hand.
Conjuring recent rumors of Brock Lesnar possibly returning to UFC, Heyman then added he will return to WWE with the UFC Title in his hands as well, as Lesnar will capture that gold should he choose to do so.
At the end of the promo, Heyman confirmed Lesnar will be on WWE Raw next week and will meet Roman Reigns face-to-face should The Big Dog have anything he wants to say to The Beast. Roman Reigns then hit the ring and said Lesnar can say whatever he wants next week on Raw, but that he better not come dressed for a ‘promo segment’, but that he better come dressed for a fight.
