Brock Lesnar has something to get off his chest. Lesnar will engage in an exclusive interview on WWE SmackDown before wrestling John Cena at Wrestlepalooza on Saturday. Lesnar has mostly let his actions speak for him, attacking Cena twice since SummerSlam.
Lesnar fills the gap Cena has left after his final SmackDown appearance. Cena cut a promo on Monday Night Raw this week talking about the challenge that is facing “The Beast” that is Lesnar and how he is fearful, but that wrestling is about facing your fears. Lesnar was last seen delivering an F5 on R-Truth where he split his jeans at the seam. Lesnar isn’t the only one speaking up before Wrestlepalooza. Undisputed WWE champion Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre will sign their contracts for their title match.
Two title matches are advertised ahead of Friday’s show. Carmelo Hayes answers Sami Zayn’s U.S. championship open challenge. Also, Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair defend the WWE women’s tag team titles against Chelsea Green and Alba Fyre.
CBS Sports is with you all night with recaps and highlights of all the action from Huntington Center in Toledo, Ohio, beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
