Brock Lesnar to break unfortunate streak of 21 years at Survivor Series: WarGames

Brock Lesnar is set to break an unfortunate 21-year streak at Survivor Series: WarGames. Lesnar will be making his debut inside a WarGames structure as part of Team Vision. Last week on RAW, The Beast returned to WWE television by aligning himself with Team Vision for Survivor Series. Roman Reigns also made his presence felt by confronting Lesnar and joining Team Punk to complete the men’s WarGames lineup. Thanks for the submission! According to Cagematch, this will be the first time in 21 years that Lesnar will be teaming up with someone for a match on WWE TV. His last tag team partner was Big Show back on the February 10, 2004, episode of SmackDown. They lost to the team of Eddie Guerrero and John Cena. It’s an unfortunate streak because Brock Lesnar never teamed up with many top names since returning in WWE, which could be considered missed opportunities. One big name Lesnar did team up with was Shinsuke Nakamura in February 2006, but it was under the NJPW banner. They defeated Akebono and Riki Choshu. Lesnar also almost teamed up with Cody Rhodes on the RAW after WrestleMania 39. However, the match never started after The Beast attacked Rhodes. The assault led to a feud between the two stars, with The American Nightmare winning and ending it at SummerSlam. Brock Lesnar set to appear on RAW WWE will hold RAW’s Survivor Series: WarGames go-home show at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City. Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns are set to appear, though it’s unclear if they are going to have a confrontation. Carnage could be expected this Monday night since the men’s WarGames advantage match is already scheduled. The only unknowns are the representatives from Team Punk and Team Vision. Lesnar showcased his power last week on RAW, tossing and suplexing both CM Punk and Cody Rhodes with ease. Reigns was able to kick The Beast out of the ring with a Superman Punch. They know each other really well just based on their history. Survivor Series: WarGames is scheduled for November 29 at Petco Park in San Diego, California.

Brock Purdy dominates in return from toe injury, leads 49ers to blowout win over Cardinals as Jacoby Brissett breaks completions record

Brock Purdy’s return went perfectly on Sunday afternoon. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback made his first start in six weeks after missing six straight games due to a toe injury, and he had no issue leading the team to a commanding 41-22 win over the Arizona Cardinals.

Purdy completed 19-of-26 passes for 200 yards and three touchdowns. With the victory, the 49ers improved to 7-4 on the season and have now won three of their last five games.

San Francisco wasted no time taking the lead, although Purdy wasn’t involved in the opening score. Running back Christian McCaffrey punched in a 1-yard touchdown on the team’s very first play from scrimmage, following a stunning 98-yard kickoff return by Skyy Moore to the Cardinals.

Purdy took over on the next drive and quickly extended the lead after the 49ers forced a quick punt. He connected with Jauan Jennings and Demarcus Robinson on deep passes that moved the offense into Arizona territory. Then, Purdy found an open George Kittle down the right side for a 30-yard touchdown reception. Although the extra point attempt was blocked, this touchdown put San Francisco up by two scores just six offensive plays into the game.

By halftime, Purdy had completed 10-of-15 passes for 123 yards. Early in the second quarter, he also hit McCaffrey for a 9-yard touchdown pass. Although that was the team’s last touchdown of the half, the 49ers added two field goals to carry a 25-10 lead into the break.

Late in the third quarter, Purdy found Kittle again, this time on a short out route to the corner of the end zone, putting San Francisco up by 25 points. This catch marked the 50th touchdown of Kittle’s career.

The Cardinals scored twice in the fourth quarter, but the game was already well out of reach. McCaffrey found the end zone for a third time after breaking free on a 20-yard run that set up an easy touchdown. From there, the 49ers cruised to a blowout win.

On the Arizona side, quarterback Jacoby Brissett completed an NFL-record 47 passes out of 57 attempts for 452 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in the losing effort. Bam Knight led the Cardinals’ ground game with 24 yards and a score on five carries. Michael Wilson had a standout performance with 185 yards on 15 receptions, while Trey McBride recorded 115 yards and a touchdown on 10 catches. Arizona now sits at 3-7 on the year.

For San Francisco, McCaffrey totaled 81 yards on 13 carries and added another 40 yards on five receptions. Kittle finished with 67 yards on six catches.

Purdy has been dealing with his toe injury all season. He initially suffered it during the season-opening win over the Seattle Seahawks and has missed eight games because of it. He hadn’t played since aggravating the injury in a Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars but has been ramping up to his return over the past week.

While backup Mack Jones has filled in admirably during Purdy’s absence, head coach Kyle Shanahan said before the game it was “not a hard decision” to reinstate Purdy as the starter now that he’s healthy. Clearly, that was the right call.

Looking ahead, the 49ers have several winnable games on their schedule, facing the Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns, and Tennessee Titans in their next three contests. If Purdy can maintain this level of play, San Francisco should be well-positioned to close out the regular season strong despite the fierce competition in the NFC West.
