WWE SummerSlam 2025 Ending & Brock Lesnar’s Return Explained

Wondering why Brock Lesnar’s name suddenly trended after WWE SummerSlam 2025? Online buzz erupted on Sunday night as fans speculated about a surprise return, fueled by his two-year absence and past controversies. But the truth behind his reappearance and who he targeted tells a very different story.

Here’s what actually happened at SummerSlam, what Triple H confirmed, and how Lesnar’s history inside and outside WWE sets the stage for what’s next.

What happened at the end of SummerSlam 2025 Night 2?

Brock Lesnar returned to WWE at the end of SummerSlam 2025 Night 2 on August 3 and attacked John Cena. This marked Lesnar’s first appearance since his 2023 SummerSlam loss to Cody Rhodes.

Cody Rhodes had just defeated Cena in a street fight to regain the WWE Undisputed Championship in the main event. Lesnar targeted Cena instead of Rhodes, signaling the start of a new rivalry. WWE Chief Content Officer Paul Levesque said, “Seeing Brock Lesnar comeback … anything you thought was happening sort of all goes out the window because the factor of Brock now just changes that dynamic.”

When can Brock Lesnar and John Cena have a match?

WWE has not officially announced a match between Lesnar and Cena. However, the confrontation at SummerSlam is expected to set up a future bout between the two veterans.

The match could take place at WWE’s upcoming premium live event “Clash in Paris” in Nanterre, France, on August 31, 2025. This would mark their first match against each other since 2014.

Why has Brock Lesnar been absent from WWE?

Lesnar disappeared from WWE after his loss to Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam 2023. WWE planned his return for Royal Rumble 2024, but he did not appear due to a lawsuit filed by former employee Janel Grant.

Grant alleged that Vince McMahon coerced her into sexual relationships with himself, John Laurinaitis, and an unnamed UFC and WWE competitor. The Wall Street Journal later identified that wrestler as Brock Lesnar. The lawsuit included allegations that McMahon sent Lesnar explicit content of Grant and promised sexual acts with her as part of a new contract. Levesque said in April, “Right now, Brock is at home being Brock … Brock is not gone from WWE. He’s just home being Brock” (via Fightful).
