This past weekend at WWE SummerSlam, Brock Lesnar made a surprise return to the promotion by attacking John Cena shortly after losing the undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes. When Lesnar’s entrance music played at MetLife Stadium, the audience erupted with excitement, though reactions from fans and media were mixed. However, AEW’s Jeff Jarrett expressed on “My World” that the opinions of WWE, the media, or the fans are less important compared to Lesnar’s role as a major draw that drives shareholder value.
Jarrett emphasized that no matter what key figures like Ari Emanuel, The Rock, Nick Khan, or Triple H think—or even what wrestling fans feel—the primary factor is how Lesnar’s presence boosts WWE’s business interests. According to him, decisions about bringing Lesnar back are motivated solely by the impact on WWE’s financial success. While Lesnar’s next appearance remains unannounced, John Cena is expected to address the aftermath of SummerSlam and his title loss on the upcoming “WWE SmackDown.”
Fan Take: Brock Lesnar’s return is a reminder that WWE prioritizes star power and business impact, which often shapes storylines more than fan opinion. For WWE fans, this signals exciting, unpredictable moments ahead and reinforces Lesnar’s enduring influence on the sport’s biggest stages.
