Brock Lesnar returned to SmackDown last week after his SummerSlam 2025 absence, attacking Cena alongside Sami Zayn. Cena’s U.S. Title match with Zayn ended in chaos due to Lesnar’s interference. While this could lead to a Lesnar–Cena clash at Wrestlepalooza, another possibility looms.
If Lesnar defeats Cena in Indianapolis, he might turn his attention to Rhodes. Their history dates back to SummerSlam 2023, when Rhodes beat Lesnar before The Beast went on hiatus. With unfinished business, Lesnar could seek revenge by challenging Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship on WWE’s grand stage.
