3 Reasons Why Brock Lesnar Returned at WWE SummerSlam 2025

NEW JERSEY, AUG 4 – Brock Lesnar’s return follows a two-year absence linked to a civil sexual lawsuit involving Vince McMahon and sets up a potential rematch with John Cena during his retirement tour.

  • On Sunday, Brock Lesnar returned to WWE at SummerSlam 2025 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, surprising the crowd by attacking John Cena and marking his first appearance since SummerSlam 2023.
  • Earlier this year, Lesnar was named in Vince McMahon's sex trafficking lawsuit, and Dave Meltzer reported he was kept off WWE programming due to the legal situation.
  • Lesnar ran to the ring and hit Cena with his F5, Sean Ross Sapp reported he teased a new storyline afterward.
  • With his return, Lesnar sets up a rematch against Cena on the retirement tour, as Cena plans to retire at the end of 2025.
  • WWE opted not to hold a SummerSlam press conference, perhaps to avoid questions on Lesnar's return, and Triple H said `If there had been a roof on this place, it wouldn't be here anymore`.
