Will Brock Lesnar Be On WWE SmackDown Tonight? What We Know

After a long hiatus from WWE television, Brock Lesnar is finally back on Monday Night RAW. The Beast Incarnate destroyed CM Punk and Cody Rhodes upon his comeback, but was soon stopped by a returning Roman Reigns.

Now, it's official that the Mayor of Suplex City will join Team Vision against Team Punk for the upcoming WarGames match at Survivor Series 2025. However, after Lesnar's return to RAW, many fans are wondering whether Brock will be part of tonight's SmackDown.

As of writing, the former World Heavyweight Champion is not advertised or promoted to be part of the Friday Night Show. So, it's unlikely that Brock Lesnar will be part of SmackDown after his return on RAW. Since he has already made his return, and there is no sense in keeping his appearance a secret for SmackDown. Instead, WWE can use his name to boost ticket sales or to get an increase in viewership. So, as Lesnar is not advertised for SmackDown, it subtly confirms that the Conqueror will not appear on Nick Aldis’ show.

For those who might not know, the Stamford-based promotion has already announced the presence of Brock Lesnar for the upcoming episode of RAW. Next week's edition of the red brand will be the go-home episode for Survivor Series 2025, making Lesnar's appearance more intriguing to watch.

Brock Lesnar's WWE return has already shaken the landscape of the company

Brock Lesnar remains one of the biggest draws in the history of the Stamford-based promotion. Last time Lesnar appeared was at the Wrestlepalooza show, where he defeated John Cena and emerged as the victor in a singles match.

However, the return of Brock on Monday Night RAW has proved to be a big rating puller for the Triple H-led promotion. Stats revealed that Lesnar and Reigns' face-off on the red brand has generated over 67 million views across all the social media platforms of WWE in merely 36 hours.

The number is gigantic and proves that the Mayor of Suplex City's presence is still a big thing in the world of professional wrestling. Talking about YouTube, a WWE official uploaded the video, and it has generated 4.1 million views since being uploaded.

The comeback of Roman Reigns and his inclusion in the video surely played a crucial role in getting these big numbers, but we can't deny that Brock Lesnar also added a stake to it.

Now, it remains to be seen what happens at Survivor Series 2025 when Lesnar will compete in the WarGames showdown.
