night.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow\u2019s PLE will open with Brock Lesnar vs John Cena, and Lesnar kicked off SmackDown tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Immediately upon arrival, Lesnar came out into the arena and manhandled Michael Cole, who was set to interview him tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Lesnar forcefully shoved Cole in the ring and looked about to do more damage, until Cole\u2019s announce partner Corey Graves made the save.<\/p>\n<p>However, Graves ended up taking two F5s from Lesnar for his troubles, which is newsworthy in itself as it confirms Graves is cleared for physicality.<\/p>\n<p>The show went to commercials with Graves down and out in the ring and being checked on by Cole and producers\/referees.<\/p>\n<p>Cameras then went backstage and caught Lesnar meeting up with a certain someone he\u2019s familiar with \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/wrestletalk.com\/topic\/paul-heyman\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Paul Heyman<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This marks Heyman\u2019s return to WWE TV after being attacked by Roman Reigns at Clash In Paris on August 31.<\/p>\n<p>Heyman was with Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker, who watched on as Lesnar told Heyman: \u201cWe should talk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lesnar then left and SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis walked in, questioning why Heyman, Reed and Breakker were on SmackDown.<\/p>\n<p>Heyman said it was to peace things out with The Usos, but The Usos aren\u2019t even at SmackDown, so Heyman claimed Reed and Breakker are just going to watch the show and won\u2019t cause any problems.<\/p>\n<p><a
