Will Brock Lesnar appear on WWE SmackDown tonight (August 8, 2025)?

‘The Beats Incarnate’ made his return during SummerSlam 2025!

‘The Beast Incarnate’ Brock Lesnar was absent from WWE programming for a long time, and despite major speculations from fans there were no signs of his return. However, it all changed after the main event of Night 2 of SummerSlam 2025, where the Beast made his earth-shattering return, taking the WWE Universe by surprise. 

Lesnar returned after the main event, where Cody Rhodes defeated John Cena to regain the Undisputed WWE title in a street fight. Cody and Cena embraced after the hard-fought match, and the crowd erupted in thanking Cena.

After Cody left, Cena acknowledged the crowd in the final SummerSlam of his career. However, it all changed when Brock Lesnar’s music hit and the Beast Incarnate made his earth-shattering return to everyone’s surprise.

The Beast Incarnate stepped into the ring, and Cena tried to attack but failed as Lesnar laid out Cena with a vicious F5, similar to the way he did at SummerSlam 2021.

Will Brock Lesnar appear on WWE SmackDown tonight?

No, Brock Lesnar is not advertised for tonight’s show of SmackDown as of the writing of this article. However, John Cena is advertised for an appearance on the show, and if WWE is planning to reignite their feud, culminating in a clash at the upcoming PLEs, Lesnar will likley make an appearance tonight.

Tonight’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown is set to air live from the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The episode will serve as the fallout show from SummerSlam 2025 and will feature the aftermath of the PLE.

Apart from John Cena’s appearance, the newly crowned  WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes, is set to address the WWE Universe this week.
