After Brock Lesnar laid out John Cena with a relentless series of F-5s last week, the entire WWE Universe has been left wondering who would be brave—or foolish—enough to cross The Beast’s path next. Few, if any, could have predicted the answer would be R-Truth.
A new report from BodySlam (via Ringside News) has revealed the planned rundown for the September 12th edition of Friday Night SmackDown, and it points to an unusual opening segment. According to the report, the show is scheduled to kick off with a confrontation between Lesnar and the perennially entertaining R-Truth.
This bizarre interaction comes just one week after Lesnar’s brutal assault on Cena, an attack that firmly re-established his dominance. What this segment means for either superstar heading into the upcoming Wrestlepalooza Premium Live Event remains a complete mystery, adding a significant layer of unpredictability to the blue brand.
The rest of the card also promises a heavy night of action. The rundown includes a massive SummerSlam rematch for the WWE Women’s Championship between titleholder Tiffany Stratton and Jade Cargill, as well as a highly anticipated singles match intended to finally settle the score between Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton.
