As noted, the Allstate Arena and Paul Heyman have announced Brock Lesnar vs Randy Orton will headline the September 24th WWE live event, which is one night before the Clash of Champions Raw brand PPV.

Neither Brock Lesnar nor Randy Orton has been announced for Clash of Champions as of now, and it’s unlikely Orton will be announced as he is a Smackdown star. It’s also worth noting WWE has not yet revealed whether or not the September 24th live event will be a WWE Network live special.

WWE has officially announced the Lesnar vs Orton rematch as WWE.com posted the following:

Randy Orton and Brock Lesnar rematch announced for Sept. 24 Live Event in Chicago

The Beast and The Viper are going to war again. Just more than a week after a controversial TKO loss to Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, Randy Orton confirmed on Twitter that he will receive a rematch against The Conqueror at the WWE Live Event in Chicago, Illinois, Saturday, Sept. 24.

The match at SummerSlam was arguably Lesnar’s most savage performance since returning to WWE in 2012, and one of the most agonizing defeats for The Apex Predator in some time. The Beast laid into Orton with a barrage of strikes that busted him open and forced WWE officials to call the match off, awarding the victory to Lesnar.

Orton received 10 staples as a result of Lesnar’s assault, and The Beast was fined by Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon for his actions. Hopefully, she has her checkbook ready for “The Rematch.” Come to think of it, SmackDown Commissioner Shane McMahon might want to set a few dollars aside, too. Orton does not take well to being upstaged, and it’s just as likely that Lesnar ends up on the receiving end of some ruthless aggression this time around.

Be sure to head to WWE.com’s Events section for ticket availability and special VIP packages to witness “The Rematch” in person.
