Brock Lesnar's return to WWE opened the door for a final match between him and John Cena before the latter retires from wrestling.

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.

According to a recent report, John Cena's retirement match is unlikely to go head-to-head with AEW Worlds End 2025, unlikely previously reported.
