Brock Lesnar Is Back In WWE Video Games Thanks In Part To John Cena
Brock Lesnar returned to WWE at SummerSlam 2025 and destroyed John Cena.
He challenged the 17-time world champion to a match at Wrestlepalooza and defeated him as well. This raised questions about whether TKO was butchering John Cena.
Currently, Lesnar isn’t advertised for any other events, but he has supposedly been confirmed internally for Royal Rumble 2026 and WrestleMania 42.
