A date has reportedly been set for the next chapter in the legendary rivalry between John Cena and Brock Lesnar, who recently returned to Japan. According to a new report, these two icons are slated to face off at a WWE Premium Live event in September.
During a Wrestling Observer radio segment, Dave Meltzer disclosed that the Cena-Lesnar match is planned for an unannounced WWE Premium Live event on Saturday, September 20th.
Their intense two-year feud reignited at the conclusion of SummerSlam on August 3, when Lesnar made a shocking comeback to WWE after a two-year hiatus. Known as “The Beast Incarnate,” Lesnar stormed the ring following a street fight with Cena’s Cody Rhodes and delivered a powerful F5 finishing move.
This upcoming match marks another major moment in John Cena’s one-year retirement tour. Before facing Lesnar, Cena has another match scheduled: on August 31, at the Paris Premium Live event, he will go head-to-head with former United States Champion Logan Paul.
Fan Take: This announcement thrills WWE fans by renewing a high-stakes rivalry that has captivated audiences for years. It has the potential to deliver electrifying moments and could significantly boost interest in WWE’s live event scene as Cena approaches the end of his in-ring career.
