With his return to Pay-Per-View, PPV in less than two weeks time, former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar didn’t appear in person for WWE Monday Night Raw.

Instead, he did a taped interview that further deepened the storyline angle of why he’s back.

The interview aired in the programme’s first hour and Lesnar talked about his high school/college wrestling background and first run in WWE. He also talked about his UFC run and winning the title, supported by still images. It’s a bit surreal seeing WWE fully acknowledge that UFC exists when company history has shown that nothing seemingly exists outside their storyline world.

Lesnar described why he came back: “To “legitimize the company” and that he was “tired of John Cena’s bull crap. There’s nothing about Brock Lesnar that’s fake. This is real. This is not a wrestling match…”

Footage of him at his gym was shown. It’s interesting that WWE is spinning this as some sort of legit fight between the two, when that obviously won’t be the case.

WWE has a three-hour RAW set for next Monday night and the Cena/Lesnar contract signing will be a major focus of the show.

Earlier on Monday, WWE.com announced that his return to action against Cena will be no countouts and no disqualifications- the main event of Extreme Rules, set for Sunday, 29 April.
