As noted, Brock Lesnar vs. Randy Orton in “The Rematch” has been announced for the September 24th non-televised WWE live event from Chicago.

WWE decided to put Lesnar on the live event instead of the September 25th Clash of Champions pay-per-view from Indianapolis because his contract calls for different pay for live events than for pay-per-view events, which typically feature longer main event quality matches as opposed to quick squash matches.

WWE simply asked Lesnar to work the Chicago event and he agreed. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter adds that Lesnar chose his opponent based on who he felt was the best Superstar on the roster available that night, that he felt would mean the most at the box office.

They really worried about whatever extra Brock gets from a PPV when 95% of the time he's brought in their paying out the ass to have him just stand there while Heyman cuts a promo :dwillhuh:

They're trying to sellout All-State Arena nothing less nothing more. The card was probably underperfoming in ticket sales and they can't afford to take a loss on NYC, Chi or LA arena shows.

Based on what? They had Lesnar face Sheamus in Houston. They had Lesnar face Del Rio in Inglewood. These matches randomly get scheduled. House shows always will do well in major cities regardless of what the card looks like.

:mjlol: at calling his PPV squash matches "main event quality".
