The return of Brock Lesnar is doing its job.
Brock Lesnar is one of the biggest draws the WWE has in their back pocket. Being a crossover star and former UFC Heavyweight Champion, he has always been a draw and a per appearance draw at that. Lesnar returned to the WWE for the first time since WrestleMania 38 on SmackDown this week, and its generated the usual buzz that happens when Lesnar makes an appearance.
In a moment mirroring Summerslam 2021, Brock Lesnar’s music hit following a Roman Reigns title defense vs Riddle. Lesnar would make his way to the ring and offer to shake Reigns’ hand, F5ing him when Reigns tried to shake his hand. The Youtube video of this segment has already broken 3.3 million views in the less than 48 hours since the WWE posted it to their Youtube channel.
The Lesnar video is by far the highest viewed segment from SmackDown this week. Second to Brock is Roman vs Riddle’s match ending and third would be Vince McMahon opening the show.
