Brock Lesnar
Shock Return At WWE SummerSlam
… After Practically 2 Years
Revealed
Brock Lesnar made a surprising return to WWE Sunday night time at SummerSlam– hitting John Cena together with his F5 finisher to shut the present.

His look got here as a shock to many … because the 48-year-old was named within the lawsuit filed by Janel Grant towards Vince McMahon in 2024.
Grant accused McMahon of asking her to create “customized sexual content material” for Lesnar whereas he was in contract negotiations in July 2021. She claimed McMahon flew Brock to Connecticut that yr for a sexual encounter, but it surely ended up not taking place.
Lesnar — who isn’t a defendant within the lawsuit — was not initially named in Grant’s submitting. She solely referenced a “world-famous athlete and former UFC Heavyweight champion” that Vince was attempting to signal.
In February 2024, his title was revealed in an amended grievance.
Whereas loads of folks had been excited to see “The Beast Incarnate,” there have been many who weren’t thrilled to see Lesnar again — with one individual saying, “we do not need him.”
Regardless of the blended response to his return, WWE CCO Triple H hinted that Brock’s return was Cena’s want for another match with him.

“One of many first issues I stated to [Cena] is who would you like, and the way, and we’re working via that.”
Unclear when his subsequent look can be … but it surely’ll actually have people speaking.
