NEW JERSEY: Former WWE Champion Brock Lesnar made a thunderous return at SummerSlam 2025, attacking John Cena in the final moments of the premium live event at a packed MetLife Stadium.

Lesnar, absent from WWE programming since SummerSlam 2023, made his presence felt just as Cena was addressing the crowd following his main event loss to Cody Rhodes.

As Cena stood alone in the ring, soaking in the ovation, Lesnar’s music hit. The crowd erupted.

What followed was classic Lesnar. No words, no hesitation, just a direct march to the ring, a brief stare-down, and then a brutal F-5 that left Cena flat on the mat.

For the unversed, John Cena and Brock Lesnar share a long and storied history, dating back to their brutal showdown at Extreme Rules 2012, where Cena emerged victorious in Lesnar’s first match back.

Cena, who turned heel earlier this year by siding with The Rock at Elimination Chamber, had recently begun his redemption arc.

The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) superstar CM Punk on Monday, disclosed that he has been medically cleared to wrestle and is all set to face rival Drew McIntyre.

For the unversed, the rivalry between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre started days after the former’s astounding return to the WWE after more than a decade as the “Scottish Warrior” expressed his dislikeness for “The Best in the World”.

After it was revealed that Punk had suffered a triceps injury during WWE Men’s Royal Rumble in January this year, McIntyre shared that he prayed for his downfall.

It turned out to be a massive mistake for McIntyre as Punk, in retaliation, cost him title opportunities on multiple occasions and even ruined his Wrestlemania moment.

On the grandest WWE premium event, McIntyre beat Seth Rollins to win the World Heavyweight Championship but decided to taunt Punk, who was commentating on the match.

But things did not go McIntyre’s way as Punk, despite being injured unleashed an attack on him, which eventually paved the way for then Mr Money in the Bank Damien Priest to cash in his contract.

A few weeks ago, CM Punk also ruined Drew McIntyre’s attempt to cash in his Money in the Bank contract.
