• Brock Lesnar Attacks WWE Commentator, Sends a Message To Paul Heyman
In the opening segment of tonight’s WWE SmackDown, Michael Cole was told on commentary that Brock Lesnar wants the sit-down interview to happen right now, so he heads to the back.
However, Lesnar came out and lifted Cole on his shoulders, marched around the ring and then took Cole in the ring. Lesnar was about to attack Cole, but Corey Graves stopped The Beast.
Lesnar then hit Graves with two F5s. Lesnar looked into the camera and told John Cena that he’s coming for blood.
This is CHAOS! 😱

• New Plan For Originally Scheduled Wrestlepalooza Match Revealed
As we previously noted, WWE was planning to do a triple threat match for the WWE Women’s Championship between Tiffany Stratton, Nia Jax, and Jade Cargill at Wrestlepalooza.
However, Tiffany not being cleared to compete has changed plans.
According to Bodyslam, WWE is now planning to book this 3-way match on the September 26th episode of SmackDown in Orlando next week.
• Former World Champion Expected To Return To WWE TV Soon
According to the Wrestling Observer, former 2-time World Heavyweight Champion Gunther is expected to make his return to WWE programming imminently.
Gunther has been off WWE television since early August, following his loss of the World Heavyweight Title to CM Punk at SummerSlam 2025.
WWE called him out of action with “multiple injuries,” including facial trauma from a spot that saw him fall face-first onto an announce table during the Punk match.
His injury report cited specifically a septal hematoma and an orbital blowout fracture, which required time off to recover.
Given his status and recent run – winning back the World Title from Jey Uso in June, defending it on Saturday Night’s Main Event against Goldberg, then losing to CM Punk – his re-entry is expected to factor into the world title picture.
