WWE may have an idea in mind for when to run the final match between Brock Lesnar and John Cena following the former's return at SummerSlam.

The rivalry between John Cena and Brock Lesnar, which stretches all the way back to 2003, was rekindled at SummerSlam 2025 as Lesnar appeared on WWE programming for the first time in two years and laid out the 17-time world champion with an F5 to close out the show.

Following his unexpected return to WWE programming at SummerSlam this month, Brock Lesnar is being advertised to appear on consecutive episodes of SmackDown in September.
