WWE’s Most Controversial Superstar Just Returned at SummerSlam (And Fans Are Split)

by

The second night of WWE SummerSlam concluded with a potential Match of the Year contender between John Cena and Cody Rhodes, fighting for the title of Undisputed Champion within WWE. Remarkably, this outcome wasn’t the most shocking moment of the last 10 minutes; instead, WWE reintroduced its most debated superstar during the event’s closing moments, causing a significant split among fans.

Following Rhodes’ exit from the arena, Cena took center stage to share a poignant moment with the audience, marking what appears to be his last SummerSlam performance. His feelings were evident throughout his interaction with Rhodes, but everything changed abruptly when the unexpected arrival of Brock Lesnar disrupted his peaceful interlude.

BROCK. LESNAR. IS. BACK.
HERE COMES THE PAIN!

If you tuned in live, you noticed a dramatic transformation on John Cena’s face when Lesnar’s music played, and the crowd, as well as Michael Cole and Wade Barrett, reacted similarly with wild excitement. The atmosphere reached its peak when Lesnar himself emerged, leaving Cena looking stunned that this unexpected event was taking place. Eventually, Lesnar moved towards the ring.

Afterward, Cena’s attention shifted entirely towards Lesnar, as Lesnar removed his cap. In an instant, Lesnar charged in, evaded a punch from Cena, and retaliated with an F5. Lesnar left Cena sprawled on the mat, smirking before exiting the ring and retrieving his hat. However, Cena soon got up, receiving a hero’s farewell. As he walked down the ramp, Cena asked them to silence his music so he could savor the thunderous cheers from the crowd. At the top of the ramp, he took a mental snapshot of this unforgettable moment.

Fans Divided

During those last minutes, it was undeniably a whirlwind of feelings, and while it appeared that most people in the stadium were supportive of Lesnar’s comeback, the response online tells a different tale. There are indeed some who are thrilled about Lesnar’s WWE return, but there are many others who express concern or even anger at his re-emergence.

It’s been two years since Brock Lesnar has been absent from WWE TV, and people are suggesting that his absence is linked to him being named in Janel Grant’s lawsuit against Vince McMahon. At first, Lesnar wasn’t explicitly mentioned in the lawsuit, but a “well-known athlete and former UFC Heavyweight Champion” was referred to instead. However, this year, an amendment to the lawsuit officially cited Brock Lesnar by name.

The claim is made by Grant that Vince McMahon proposed a sexual encounter with him to Lesnar, but it didn’t occur. However, Grant later mentioned that the reason for this was simply because Lesnar was drunk at the time. In the lawsuit, it is suggested that this proposal was intended to persuade Lesnar to renew his contract with WWE in 2021.

When you browse the web for responses about Lesnar’s comeback, you’ll find numerous posts sharing images of the lawsuit against him, while others remind us of his absence from WWE TV in 2023. Once the lawsuit became public knowledge, Lesnar was essentially cut off from all WWE activities. However, it appears that Lesnar is returning now and is expected to play a significant role in the storyline with John Cena. We’ll have to observe how WWE responds to any potential negative feedback regarding Lesnar’s return.
