Brock Lesnar Defeats John Cena At WWE Wrestlepalooza 2025 Return Match

At WWE Wrestlepalooza 2025 in Indianapolis, Brock Lesnar made a highly anticipated return to the ring after a two-year hiatus and a controversy involving a sex trafficking lawsuit tied to former WWE boss Vince McMahon. Lesnar faced John Cena in what was billed as possibly their last match, decisively defeating Cena with multiple F5 finishers despite Cena's valiant effort including three Attitude Adjustments. The match was marked by Lesnar's dominance and brutal post-match actions, including attacking the referee and Cena again. WWE heavily promoted the event, highlighting Cena's yearlong retirement tour and Lesnar's reputation as a formidable opponent, with Paul Heyman playing a key role in hyping Lesnar's return. The card also featured other high-profile matches, such as CM Punk and AJ Lee teaming against Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch, and Cody Rhodes defending his Undisputed WWE Championship. Despite some fan resistance to Lesnar's comeback, his victory over Cena was a major storyline centerpiece at Wrestlepalooza.
