Former WWE Champion Brock Lesnar will be wrestling on a major house show on Dec. 19 at the Forum in Los Angeles, CA.

The match is part of his new contract where, besides a few PPV and television shows, he agreed to work scattered house shows. In the past, all of his house show appearances (July at Sumo Hall in Tokyo against Kofi Kingston and October in Madison Square Garden against Big Show) also became WWE Network live special events.

WWE has not run the Forum in recent memory as the L.A. Sports Arena, Honda Center and Staples Center have been the venues of choice in the Los Angeles and Orange County area over the last two decades.

There is advertising out listing both John Cena and Lesnar for the 12/19 date, indicatating Cena will be returning a week before his prior first advertised date of Dec. 26 as MSG, making this a pretty big house show.

William Regal underwent a second neck operation yesterday after results of a CAT scan six weeks ago.

According to a Regal interview on the WWE web site, the CAT scan showed more damage to the back of his neck that needed to be taken care of as soon as possible. He noted being glad he got checked because he was feeling better than he had in decades and was expecting to get back into ring, at least when it came to training the NXT talent.

Regal had the surgery in Pittsburgh under Dr. Joseph Maroon. The surgery differed from his 2014 fusion surgery that went in the front of the neck, while this surgery was in the back of the neck.

Regal had surgery on four different vertebrae, C-3, C-4, C-5 and C-6, to clean out calcium deposits.

Regal said he'll be recovered well enough by December to travel with the NXT crew for the tour of the U.K. He would not be able to wrestle on that tour, but that was never in the plans to begin with. But he said that normally he travels to WWE television when they tape in the U.K., but that he wouldn't be able to travel next month.
