It was the final few moments of WWE SummerSlam 2025 Night 2. Fans were winding down, expecting a feel-good close to the show—until a familiar, thunderous sound hit the arena: Brock Lesnar’s entrance music. Within seconds, the stadium erupted.
The Beast was back.
Not just back—he stormed the ring, dropped John Cena with a brutal F5, and stood tall as the show went off air. No promos. No teases. No leaks. Just chaos, shock, and one of the loudest pops in recent WWE memory.
Lesnar hadn’t been seen on WWE programming for nearly two years. His last appearance? A loss to Cody Rhodes—ironically at SummerSlam 2023. Since then, he’s been away from the spotlight, mostly due to an ongoing sexual misconduct lawsuit that kept him off the main roster and out of public appearances. Despite that legal cloud, WWE pulled the trigger and brought him back in a moment that has now gone viral worldwide.
But the real drama unfolded after the show.
In a post-show press conference, WWE’s head of creative, Paul “Triple H” Levesque, addressed the return:
“This was John Cena’s idea. His farewell tour. He wanted Brock.”
Fans were stunned—was this Cena’s call?
Just hours later, Cena’s backstage clip began circulating online. He said, with a smile:
“Well, I’ve been saying the same thing for 25 years. They deal ‘em, I play ‘em. I’m just really excited. We got like 12 of these things left.”
A polite way of saying: this wasn’t my decision.
So what’s the truth? Did Cena really ask for Lesnar? Or was it a last-minute booking shocker crafted by creative for maximum buzz? Either way, it worked.
Lesnar’s return wasn’t just a match moment—it was a cultural reset for WWE. The Beast coming back at the very event where he last lost felt like poetic chaos. And with Cena on his farewell tour, it added another emotional layer to an already seismic night.
Who made the call doesn’t matter anymore.
What matters is this: Brock Lesnar is back. The WWE Universe roared. And SummerSlam 2025 delivered a moment fans will never forget.
