Brock Lesnar advertised for two upcoming WWE appearances
Brock Lesnar is being advertised for his first WWE dates since returning to the company at SummerSlam.
WWE’s website now has Lesnar advertised for the September 12 episode of SmackDown in Norfolk, Virginia and the September 19 episode in Toledo, Ohio. The appearances should serve the purpose of building up an upcoming Lesnar vs. John Cena match.
It was reported earlier this week that WWE is planning to hold a main roster PLE in Indianapolis on September 20 — the same day as AEW All Out is being held in Toronto. As of now, it’s expected that Lesnar vs. Cena will headline the WWE event.
After a two-year absence, Lesnar made his WWE return by attacking Cena in an angle that took place at the end of SummerSlam. It was Lesnar’s first appearance since his name was mentioned in the lawsuit that Janel Grant filed against Vince McMahon and WWE in January 2024.
The renewal of Cena and Lesnar’s rivalry comes as one of the final programs Cena will ever have in his in-ring career. He is set to retire from active competition with his last match taking place this December.
Scope Arena in Norfolk is hosting the September 12 edition of SmackDown, while the September 19 show in Toledo is being held at the Huntington Center.
