Still, it does take some suspense out of the Lesnar announcement.<\/p>\n<p>Realistically, it is still possible that WWE could run a swerve of Monday&#8217;s show and delay the announcement till next week or the week after, but the end goal seems clear: WWE ultimately will be featuring Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar at Summerslam.  And insofar as that is going to be a big selling point of the show, the company will likely want to make that match official in storylines sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Before RAW 1000, WWE Already Announcing Brock Lesnar for Summerslam<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Brock Lesnar&#039;s response to Triple H&#039;s Summerslam challenge has been hyped as one of the most-anticipated elements of Monday&#039;s &quot;RAW 1000&quot; episode, but WWE\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2012\/07\/22\/before-raw-1000-wwe-already-announcing-brock-lesnar-for-summerslam\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Before RAW 1000, WWE Already Announcing Brock Lesnar for Summerslam\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Brock Lesnar&#039;s response to Triple H&#039;s Summerslam challenge has been hyped as one of the most-anticipated elements of Monday&#039;s &quot;RAW 1000&quot; episode, but WWE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2012\/07\/22\/before-raw-1000-wwe-already-announcing-brock-lesnar-for-summerslam\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2012-07-22T23:32:51+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2012-07-22T23:33:03+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian Cantor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cantorpedia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2012\/07\/22\/before-raw-1000-wwe-already-announcing-brock-lesnar-for-summerslam\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2012\/07\/22\/before-raw-1000-wwe-already-announcing-brock-lesnar-for-summerslam\/\",\"name\":\"Before RAW 1000, WWE Already Announcing Brock Lesnar for Summerslam\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2012-07-22T23:32:51+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2012-07-22T23:33:03+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"Brock Lesnar's response to Triple H's Summerslam challenge has been hyped as one of the most-anticipated elements of Monday's \\\"RAW 1000\\\" episode, but WWE\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2012\/07\/22\/before-raw-1000-wwe-already-announcing-brock-lesnar-for-summerslam\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News &amp; Charts, TV News &amp; Spoilers\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\",\"name\":\"Brian Cantor\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Brian Cantor\"},\"description\":\"Brian Cantor is the editor-in-chief for Headline Planet.
