Seven-time WWE Champion reportedly set to appear on SmackDown after six months [Potential Spoiler]
The go-home edition of SmackDown for Royal Rumble is reportedly set to receive a major boost with the return of a former WWE Champion. The person in question is Brock Lesnar. According to a recent report, The Beast will be present on the blue brand this week.
The Beast Incarnate was last seen on SmackDown in July during his feud with Roman Reigns. The two powerhouses faced off for the final time in a Last Man Standing match at SummerSlam, after which Lesnar took a hiatus.
He returned to TV programming on RAW in October to kickstart his feud with Bobby Lashley. The duo had a showdown at Crown Jewel where the All Mighty assaulted the former Universal Champion after the bell. Lesnar returned to action on Monday earlier this week, costing Lashley the United States title match against Austin Theory.
PWInsider recently reported that the former UFC Superstar will be present during the taping of this week's show.

The go-home edition of WWE programming often features an all-out brawl at the end of the show, and Lesnar could be a part of that. The Beast Incarnate will also reportedly participate in the upcoming Men's Royal Rumble match.
