WWE Tokyo card changed? Brock Lesnar to meet Japanese legend

The Beast in the East!

- According to the Wrestling Observer despite Brock Lesnar vs Kofi Kingston, and Finn Balor vs Kevin Owens being hyped as the main events for the WWE Tokyo Network special, the true main event will most likely be John Cena and Dolph Ziggler vs. Kane and King Barrett, as this is how it’s being advertised locally.

Although they could put on a great match the feeling is that Lesnar will simply squash Kofi in a few minutes, so something longer needed to fill the top spot. Michael Cole and Byron Saxton may be recording commentary from Stamford, instead of travelling to Tokyo.

- In related news Brock Lesnar’s travelling partner for the trip is 61-year-old former amateur and pro wrestler Brad Rheingans, instead of Paul Heyman. Rheingans and Lesnar are planning to visit Japanese wrestling legend Masa Saito, who was also an Olympic wrestler in the 60s.
