Brock Lesnar was recently called out by one of his old friends, so we’ll take a look
at what’s going on there.
We’ll also see the connections between Sonya and Stephanie, as well as the WWE UK special
event
Let’s start things off with this report regarding a WWE premium live event taking
place in the UK
it’s been a very long time since the UK has hosted a special WWE live event
Sure, WWE goes overseas a few times a year and gives the UK a few episodes of Raw and
Smackdown, as well as some regular live event shows
But the fans, and even UK born superstars like Drew McIntyre, have been seriously pushing
for UK to host a Wrestlemania or even just any pay-per-view event
It’s been a long time since they hosted any big show like that.
Like we mentioned, the biggest show the UK gets to host is Raw and Smackdown and those
shows aren’t live due to time zone differences
So the idea of the UK hosting a special live event WWE show is something that excites everyone
Everyone is well aware that they have one of the most energetic live fans in the world
Their fans come to life, they’re passionate, and as a result of all that, it makes the
show feel even more alive
And WWE obviously isn’t in their towns so often, so when WWE does come over, they’re
extremely hyped up and ready to go
so that’s why the idea of giving the UK a big live event show is an idea that excites
the UK fans and fans all over the world that just love seeing a hyped up crowd
Like everyone learned during the pandemic era of wrestling… fans play a big role in
wrestling, so the louder and more energetic they are, the better
These sources claim that this WWE United Kingdom PPV return will take place Saturday, September
3rd at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales
Another interesting thing that fans have pointed out is that AEW’s All Out event will also
be taking place around that same weekend, so it’ll be a loaded week for wrestling
So that’s something extremely great to look forward to, a special WWE live event is rumored
to be returning to the UK this September

Brock Lesnar is in the middle of one of the biggest storylines in his entire career with
Roman Reigns
But one of the main issues when it comes to Brock Lesnar is that there’s not too many
current WWE superstars who are really credible enough to face Brock Lesnar
Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre are some of the rare superstars where you think to yourself
“yeah, they have a fair shot of defeating Brock Lesnar”
But when it comes to the rest of the roster, it’s nothing but mismatches, it’s hard
to find people that will look like a equal threat to Brock Lesnar inside of the ring
However, there is one upcoming WWE superstar that hasn’t debuted yet, but already seems
credible for Brock Lesnar and that is Gable Steve-son
We previously talked about Gable also being a credible opponent for Roman Reigns
But a story and match with Brock Lesnar does make even more sense for Gable, given their
history
Brock first met Gable several years ago when Gable was just a teenager coming up in the
high school wrestling scene
There’s even pictures of Brock and Gable meeting each other back in those days
Gable has said time and time again how much of an inspiration Brock Lesnar was to him,
especially in the high school / college wrestling scene
Although Gable already signed and committed to WWE, he’s still out there competing for
college wrestling national championships right now
So as soon as he finishes up his college career, he’s expected to make a debut in WWE
And he’s getting a lot of hype, a lot of Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar-like comparisons
And he’s still close with Brock Lesnar till this day, there’s even pictures of them
together backstage at recent WWE events, so the friendship is there with these two
But WWE recently tweeted out a question asking fans about who they think would be a dream
opponent for Brock Lesnar
Gable responded to WWE’s tweet by commenting his own name
And it’s interesting because depending on how Gable is brought in and introduced to
WWE, he’ll join that short list of superstars that are actually a threat to Brock Lesnar
in the ring
Sort of like a ‘student versus teacher’ sort of story here with Gable versus Brock
Brock Lesnar was giving Gable little pointers and advice for wrestling since high school
and for Gable to now be standing across the ring from Brock inside the WWE would be a
pretty surreal moment
And like everyone always talks about when it comes to creating new stars, this would
probably be a prime situation to create a new big star
Give Gable and Brock a great story, have Gable defeat Brock cleanly, and you can definitely
start building for the future with the creation of this next big young star
So hopefully WWE does have big plans for Gable and he legitimately takes off WWE’s next
big star

Sonya Deville has been in the WWE official role for just over a year now and her character
has been evolving greatly over this run as a WWE official
When Sonya first returned and came into this role, she was more soft spoken and was basically
just observing everything Adam Pearce did
But as time went by and she learned more and more about being a WWE official, you can see
the confidence start to come out from Sonya to the point where she became an equal to
Adam Pearce and starting challenging him on some decisions
Then the Naomi feud happen, and even though that feud had a lot of plot holes that will
drive you crazy, one good thing it did was add that heel personality back to Sonya’s
character
A lot of people forget the great work Sonya was doing before she left after Summerslam
2020
She was having all these great promos and building this great story with Mandy Rose,
so it was great that the Naomi story allowed her to get parts of that personality back
So what’s next for Sonya Deville?
Well Sonya was recently a guest on the out of character podcast and talked about how
she sees her character being in the same sort of line and role that Vince McMahon and Stephanie
McMahon were in for a long time
And that’s the role of being these sort of duel-threat characters that are technically
WWE officials, but can still get in the ring to compete and take part in storylines
Sonya had this to say during that appearance, quote:
“I’ve gotten a lot of what I do from Stephanie.
Looking back on the old Stephanie stuff, I think that is Vince’s kind of vision for
me, a Stephanie-esque character.
When I do get in the ring, it’s like yeah I get in the ring but I get in the ring as
an authority figure.
I will use my power how I see fit and how I can to my advantage and I’ll enjoy doing
it because that’s how Steph does and that’s how Vince did.
I’ve taken a lot of notes from both of their past work for sure.”
End quote
So that’s really interesting to hear about, Sonya is going back and reviewing old footage
of Stephanie McMahon when she was an authority figure and studying from that
She’s using Stephanie’s old GM days as guidance for how she should present her own
character in current day
Stephanie, both during her days as GM and her authority days with Triple H, was such
a great character that knew how to connect with the crowd and engage with them, so it’s
great that Sonya is taking notes from such iconic WWE official characters like Stephanie
McMahon and Vince McMahon
