The big match is going to take place as fans rejoice – Brock Lesnar showed up with a contract for a match with Bobby Lashley on Monday Night Raw.
Lashley spoke publicly about facing Brock Lesnar for years, and the match finally happened at last year’s Royal Rumble with Lesnar’s WWE Championship on the line. “The All Mighty” won, but only after heavy interference from Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman.
Lashley was also injured in the match and had to be written out of his title defense inside the Elimination Chamber a month later, setting up an easy win for Lesnar that set up his match for WrestleMania.

“We’re doing this on my terms.”
Naturally, this was just a way to get the upper hand on Lesnar, and Lashley ultimately signed the contract to make the match official for this Sat., Feb. 18, 2023, at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
