Shocking Backstage Details On Why John Cena Lost To Brock Lesnar

John Cena’s squash loss to Brock Lesnar at WWE Wrestlepalooza did not sit well with many fans.

Lesnar returned to World Wrestling Entertainment at SummerSlam after being away for two years, attacking Cena after the latter’s title match against Cody Rhodes.

Both Lesnar and Cena have been long-standing rivals, since wrestling for the first time in 2002 during a SmackDown episode.

The 17-time World Champion has always found himself at a disadvantage, especially while coming up against Brock Lesnar, and his negative win-loss record proves it.

With Cena now on his retirement tour, fans eagerly anticipated this clash, hoping for the babyface with secure a rare win. But that was not to be the case.

Backstage Details Behind John Cena’s Loss At Wrestlepalooza Revealed

While speaking on the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer revealed backstage details about why John Cena lost to The Beast Incarnate, while also revealing that there won’t be a rematch.

There’s no plan for a rematch. The idea was, it was I mean, I don’t want to say it was John’s idea, but what I was basically told is that John is very unselfish and his job is, he knows on the way out that he wants to make people, you know? [Bryan Alvarez: Because Brock Lesnar wasn’t made].

Well, he wants to make big stars. So he felt that. I mean, it was, it’s his call. And that was his call. A lot of guys, when they’re on their way out, their call is to lose and to put the other guy over. And that was John’s call. I mean, I know a lot of people.

Look, at the end of the day, it’s Paul Levesque’s call, right? But if John says that, it’s not like Paul Levesque’s going to go ‘No, no, no, no, you have to win,’ especially when Brock is the one staying and he’s the one leaving.
