Nobody lays down a challenge like Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman.
Following a New Day win over Randy Orton and The Revival, Lesnar’s music hit over the speakers and a smirking Beast emerged. Lesnar stared down Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, and Big E during a tense SmackDown moment.
On the direction of the WWE Champion, Woods and E cleared out of the ring while Lesnar and Heyman stepped through the ropes. Heyman had a few words for Kingston and a challenge.
