Update on future of John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar WWE storyline

  • Ian Carey

John Cena is not planned to wrestle Brock Lesnar again before he retires later this year.

Lesnar defeated Cena in a one-sided eight-minute match on Saturday at Wrestlepalooza, leading some to believe a rematch could still be in the works. However, on today’s episode of Wrestling Observer Live, our own Bryan Alvarez said he’s been told there are no plans for Cena and Lesnar to wrestle again.

Alvarez said:

“As of this weekend, I am told that this is it. There isn’t going to be another Brock Lesnar, John Cena match. That was their last match and Brock is not his final opponent. So, I don’t know what to say now.”

Alvarez went on to speculate that Lesnar may receive a future title shot.

Today’s episode of Wrestling Observer Live also features Tom Lawlor. A link to the full episode is below. Alvarez’s comments about Cena and Lesnar begin after the first commercial break:
