Brock Lesnar made his return to WWE television at SummerSlam 2025, confronting John Cena, who had just lost the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes. Lesnar laid out Cena, setting up a match between the two at WWE Wrestlepalooza. The match was a quick affair with Lesnar winning.

WWE is at the tail end of John Cena's Last Time is Now Tournament. So far, Gunther and LA Knight have advanced to the finals and are set to square off on the upcoming episode of WWE SmackDown.
In an interview with Chris Van Vliet on Tuesday, Cena hinted that Brock Lesnar may retire after SummerSlam, making his Minneapolis appearance his final dance with the WWE. Lesnar recently returned to the WWE from a two-year absence that coincided with him being named in a sex trafficking lawsuit against the company and Vince McMahon.
