Brock Lesnar returns on WWE SmackDown, Wrestlepalooza match official
The match everyone expected for Wrestlepalooza is now official.
John Cena was wrestling Sami Zayn in the opening match of this week’s SmackDown when he hit an avalanche AA off the middle rope. Both men were down when Brock Lensar’s music played. After he dragged the referee out of the ring he went in for the attack, laying out Zayn with an F5. He then went for his real target, laying out Cena with two F5s before making his exit.
After the commercial break, Lesnar was seen entering the gorilla position and told John Cena that he’d see him at Wrestlepalooza. The match was then immediately made official for September 20.
Lesnar made his shock return to WWE after a two year absence at SummerSlam, laying out Cena after he had just lost the WWE title to Cody Rhodes. In the time since, Lesnar’s name hadn’t been brought up much as Cena soon pivoted towards a match against Logan Paul at Clash in Paris. On last week’s SmackDown, GM Nick Aldis informed Cena he had heard from Lesnar. Before Aldis could reveal more details, Paul emerged and sucker punched Cena to close out the show.
