Shelton Benjamin couldn't get the job done so Brock Lesnar will take matters into his own hands.
On tonight's episode of WWE Raw, Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman engaged in another war of words ahead of Rollins' scheduled match against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35. Rollins claimed to know the way of The Beast, but Heyman had a surprise up his sleeve. Making his return to television was none other than Lesnar's former Minnesota Stretching Crew teammate, Shelton Benjamin.

The attack by Benjamin led to a one-on-one bout between himself and Rollins. Benjamin, wrestling his first singles match on television since October 2018, couldn't get the job done, falling victim to Seth Rollins and The Stomp.

While Shelton failed against Rollins, Heyman announced during the match that Brock Lesnar will appear next week on Raw. Next week will mark Lesnar's first appearance on Raw since the night after WWE Royal Rumble.
