Brok Lesnar returned to F5 John Cena to close out SummerSlam 2025
SummerSlam 2025 Night 2 ended with a jaw-dropping moment no one saw coming. Just minutes after Cody Rhodes defeated John Cena in a gruelling street fight to reclaim the Undisputed WWE Championship, the crowd rose to its feet to salute the 16-time world champion—many believing this could be one of Cena’s final in-ring appearances.
But before Cena could fully soak in the ovation, “The Beast” Brock Lesnar made a shocking return to WWE for the first time since 2023.

Lesnar’s music hit like a thunderclap inside Allegiant Stadium, and the stunned look on Cena’s face said it all. Rhodes had already left the ring, leaving Cena alone to face the music. Lesnar, stone-faced and moving with intent, entered the ring, locked eyes with a visibly exhausted Cena—and without saying a word, hoisted him into the air and delivered a devastating F-5.
Watch the shocking moment that left the WWE Universe speechless and reignited one of wrestling’s most volatile rivalries.
The crowd gasped in disbelief as Cena was left motionless in the center of the ring. No promo. No warning. Just pure chaos.
Cena had just been through an all-out war with Rhodes, one that saw crutches used as weapons, steel steps shattered, and multiple finishers traded. Rhodes kicked out of everything—from the STF to a flying AA through the announcer’s table—before finally hitting a Cross Rhodes off the top rope and sealing the win with one final salute.
The two shared a powerful post-match moment, with Cena handing over the title and whispering something that brought Rhodes to tears. It was emotional, it was cinematic—and it was Cena at his most human.
And then Lesnar ruined it.
Whether this is the start of another chapter in the Cena-Lesnar rivalry or a new target for “The Beast” remains to be seen. But one thing’s for sure—Lesnar returned on his terms, and he made the loudest statement possible.
