WWE News: Brock Lesnar to make his first title defense at new WWE pay-per-view

The date for Brock Lesnar's first title defense announced.

Lesnar to make his first title defense in July

Reigning WWE Universal champion Brock Lesnar will make his first title defence at a new WWE pay-per-view as announced by the arena that will be hosting the show.

Earlier, there were rumors about WWE possibly bringing back the Bad Blood pay-per-view for July 9th. However, a new video released by the American Airlines Center in Dallas suggests a different story.

The above-mentioned video announced that Lesnar will defend the title at a new pay-per-view called WWE Great Balls of Fire on July 9, 2017. Lesnar’s opponent was not revealed and still remains a mystery for the time being

WWE’s intentions behind introducing a whole new pay-per-view are also puzzling. From the video package, Great Balls of Fire looks set to be a Monday Night Raw exclusive show.

Lesnar won the Universal Championship from Goldberg at WrestleMania 33. The Beast then appeared on the Raw that followed the pay-per-view but has been on a hiatus ever since. Braun Strowman was earlier rumoured to face Lesnar but nothing has been confirmed as of now.
