WWE shared details on how Brock Lesnar’s comeback at SummerSlam was orchestrated during Monday night’s Raw. At the climax of SummerSlam Night Two, Cody Rhodes captured John Cena’s WWE Championship, but the real headline was Lesnar making his return after a two-year absence, delivering an F5 to Cena.
Lesnar had been off WWE programming since SummerSlam 2023. Though initially planned to return at the 2024 Royal Rumble, he was pulled from the event amid allegations linking him and WWE to a sexual abuse and human trafficking lawsuit involving Vince McMahon. Despite being absent from TV, Lesnar remained listed on WWE’s official roster throughout this period.
On Raw, commentator Michael Cole revealed his conversation with WWE President Nick Khan and Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque, who explained that they contacted Lesnar a few weeks ago with the message, “I believe it’s time for you to go home.” Lesnar agreed immediately, leading to his hotly anticipated return at SummerSlam.
Fan Take: Brock Lesnar’s dramatic reappearance is a game-changer, reigniting excitement for WWE’s future storylines. For fans, it underscores the unpredictable nature of pro wrestling and signals fresh high-stakes rivalries on the horizon.
