Lesnar makes shocking return to close SummerSlam
With Cena making his final appearance at SummerSlam, the stage was set for an epic finale with Rhodes. Both Rhodes and Cena served a thrilling main event on Night 2 as the former avenged for his loss at Wrestlemania 41 in Las Vegas.

Sunday’s appearance was Lesnar’s first since 2023 SummerSlam, having been sidelined due to a reported injury and then Vince McMahon’s sexual assault and trafficking lawsuit. He was destined to return to WWE in the 2024 Royal Rumble, but that plan was scrapped after the lawsuit proceedings. It will now be interesting to see what the WWE has in plans for the Lesnar-Cena feud as the latter enters the final chapter of his farewell tour.
