Brock Lesnar’s upcoming WWE appearance has been officially announced.
The Beast Incarnate made a shocking return to WWE at SummerSlam earlier this month, targeting John Cena following his main event clash with Cody Rhodes. Despite Cena’s opposition, Triple H revealed that Lesnar’s comeback was a response to Cena’s request.
This led to surprise when neither wrestler appeared on the subsequent live shows or SmackDown to promote a potential match featuring a Hollywood star.
Now, Lesnar’s next WWE appearances are confirmed, with promotion for episodes of SmackDown airing on September 12th at Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia, and September 19th at Huntington Arena in Toledo, Ohio.
Sources indicate that WWE is planning a John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar main event for a pay-per-view scheduled on September 20th, though the event itself has yet to be announced.
The timing of these advertised dates supports the rumors, as Lesnar is expected to be present to set up a showdown with the 17-time world champion Cena.
John Cena has only 11 appearances remaining as an active WWE superstar, and with few events left, the company is racing to build his retirement match post-Lesnar bout. More details can be reviewed here.
Fan Take: This news excites WWE fans as it signals a major showdown between two of the biggest names in wrestling history, potentially culminating in Cena’s farewell match. Such high-profile clashes boost WWE’s appeal, keeping the sport thrilling and engaging for viewers worldwide.
