On the latest installment of Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez speculated that one reason why Brock Lesnar returned to WWE television earlier than planned had something to do with the WWE Network subscription numbers.
Alvarez noted the next conference call takes place next month on July 30th, and the company would be more inclined to report a higher subscriber count, and his return would benefit those numbers, which include people buying for the WWE Battleground pay-per-view.
It was previously reported that Lesnar was originally planned to return at the WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view to face current champion Seth Rollins, but those plans were changed and Lesnar’s return was pushed up to last night’s episode of WWE Monday Night RAW.
