Brock Lesnar made his return at WWE SummerSlam 2025

Brock Lesnar’s shocking return at SummerSlam sent shockwaves through WWE. After nearly two years away, the Beast Incarnate made his presence felt by planting John Cena with an F-5 moments after Cody Rhodes recaptured the Undisputed Championship. It was a poetic twist in a saga that has been simmering for years. But since then? Silence.

Lesnar’s name has been dropped on SmackDown, but without follow-up. No ominous music, no cryptic vignettes, just absence.

Fans were certain WWE Clash in Paris would be the place for Lesnar to strike again, especially with Cena in action. Instead, the event came and went with no sign of the Beast. A photo even circulated online claiming to show him in Paris, only for it to be debunked as a fan snap in Medicine Hat, Alberta.

WWE teases, but no Brock Lesnar in sight

Lesnar’s vanishing act is vintage WWE storytelling. His surprise attack at SummerSlam reminded the world that he doesn’t need weekly appearances to dominate the narrative. Still, the lack of clarity has left the WWE Universe restless. Where does Lesnar fit in as Cena’s farewell tour winds down?

John Cena currently has just eight matches left before retiring from in-ring competition. A showdown with Lesnar is the kind of high-stakes bout worthy of that countdown. WWE’s minimal teases suggest the company is biding its time to strike with maximum impact.

WWE SmackDown and WrestlePalooza in the spotlight

The biggest clue may have already surfaced. WWE’s official website is now advertising Brock Lesnar for two upcoming SmackDown tapings on September 12 and September 19. Those dates line up perfectly with WrestlePalooza, which is scheduled for September 20.

If the plans hold true, Lesnar’s SmackDown return could set the stage for one of the most anticipated matches of 2025: Brock Lesnar vs John Cena, one last time. The Beast and the Franchise have defined eras of WWE, and a final battle would be a fitting farewell moment before Cena closes the book on his career.

Whether Lesnar returns this Friday or waits until the go-home show before WrestlePalooza, fans can expect fireworks. WWE has kept the mystery alive, and the countdown to his next strike is on.
