Brock Lesnar To Defend WWE Championship On March 5 In Madison Square Garden

Before the winner takes all match in the main event of WrestleMania 38, Brock Lesnar has one final hurdle to overcome to be 100% official.

On tonight’s (February 21) episode of Raw, new WWE Champion Brock Lesnar opened the show, when he was interrupted by Paul Heyman, who told Brock that he will defend the title on March 5 at Madison Square Garden.

Heyman said that Lesnar will defend against Bobby Lashley, provided he passes ‘concussion protocol’. However, if he fails, Heyman will name a new challenger for Lesnar.

Lesnar also said that he will be on SmackDown this Friday to confront Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman.

Lashley is expected to miss around 4 months of action with a shoulder injury, so would not be able to compete on March 5.
