Paul Heyman was on commentary the opening match on Raw tonight where Seth Rollins defeated Shelton Benjamin. The advocate for the reigning Universal Champion would announce that Lesnar will be live on Raw in Chicago next week.

Benjamin attacked Rollins from behind setting up with a match between the duo. Paul Heyman noted that Benjamin helped train Brock Lesnar, with the pair having history in OVW. He also did not deny that he paid Benjamin to attack Rollins. WWE expects us to forget things that happened just a few weeks ago, but re-formed a tag team from 19 years ago in ‘The Minnesota Stretching Crew’. It is a rare occurrence in WWE, but a clever piece of booking nonetheless.
Well here's a Superstar who certainly KNOWS @BrockLesnar…#SDLive's @Sheltyb803 has ATTACKED @WWERollins on #RAW!!! @HeymanHustle pic.twitter.com/xG8KezrPJw

This was Shelton’s first match on Raw in ten years, with his last coming in 2009 against Christian. With Lesnar and Heyman scheduled to appear on Raw next week, I would fully expect Benjamin to join the tandem and explain his unexpected actions from tonight’s episode.
