WWE delivered yet another shocker at SummerSlam Night 2, continuing a hot streak of surprises. The Sunday night’s main event saw Cody Rhodes reclaim the Undisputed WWE Championship, defeating John Cena in a brutal, emotionally charged street fight.
The two icons traded finishing moves and weapon shots in a lengthy battle before Rhodes finally put Cena down for the three-count to avenge his WrestleMania loss.
Following the match, Cena, who had officially turned babyface on SmackDown just two nights earlier, embraced Rhodes in a touching show of respect, telling him, ‘That was the best I have’. Rhodes exited, leaving Cena in the ring to soak in the love of the New Jersey crowd – until everything changed.
In a moment that stunned the WWE Universe, Brock Lesnar’s music hit, signaling his shocking return after two years away from the company. The arena erupted as ‘The Beast’ marched to the ring, locking eyes with his old rival in a tense staredown. The crowd buzzed with anticipation, and then chaos unfolded.
Lesnar hoisted Cena onto his shoulders and delivered a thunderous F-5, leaving the 17-time World Champion laid out as SummerSlam went off the air.
The unexpected attack has cast a shadow over the final stretch of Cena’s retirement tour, leaving fans wondering what Lesnar’s intentions are and whether we’re on the verge of one last war between two of WWE’s biggest legends.
With just four months left in Cena’s career, the road to his final match suddenly looks more dangerous, and unpredictable than ever.
