On the recent episode of Monday Night RAW caught fans off guard when Omos issued a challenge to Brock Lesnar for a WrestleMania match, instead of the expected Gunther match. Dave Meltzer has shed light on Lesnar’s current status, revealing that WWE made significant creative changes for the superstar.
Dave Meltzer clarified that current Intercontinental Champion Gunther was never scheduled to face Lesnar, and the original plans for the Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar are unknown. However, he reported that the company recently rewrote the script, which included Omos in the storyline.
Next week’s Monday Night Raw promises to be a massive event, and there is a chance that Triple H might disrupt the story and deny Omos as Brock Lesnar’s opponent at WrestleMania 39. However, the TV storyline buildup strongly suggests a first-time-ever match between Omos and Lesnar, which is likely to be showcased at WrestleMania Hollywood in just over a month.
Here’s the report regarding Brock Lesnar vs. Omos from the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter:
“Brock Lesnar vs. Omos. The only thing we know is that whatever the Lesnar plan was, and it wasn’t Gunther, that is that it changed in the last week or two. Next week on RAW they are doing an angle that would either set up this match, or the angle is a swerve for something else. But television would lead you to believe this is it.”
