Brock Lesnar made a surprising in-ring return to WWE at the Wrestlepalooza PLE after two years away, shocking fans with a dominant victory over John Cena. Despite the high-profile comeback, AEW’s Ricochet openly dismissed the excitement surrounding the Brock Lesnar WWE return, expressing on social media that no one truly cared about it.
Following SummerSlam 2025, Lesnar stunned audiences by attacking John Cena with his signature F-5 move, setting up their singles match at Wrestlepalooza. There, Lesnar decisively defeated Cena in a quick, one-sided contest, reaffirming his status as The Beast Incarnate. However, Ricochet used his X account to question the significance of Lesnar’s comeback:
“What? Brock legit came back and no one gives a f**k?” Ricochet wrote.
Ricochet’s Past Encounters with Lesnar Highlighted
Ricochet’s dismissive comment carries added weight given his prior experience with Lesnar in WWE. At the Supershowdown event in 2020, Ricochet challenged Lesnar for the WWE Championship but was thoroughly dominated. Lesnar’s convincing victory showcased the gulf between the two competitors, and this history underscores Ricochet’s skepticism about Lesnar’s current impact.
Expert Analysis of Lesnar’s Destroying of John Cena
Lesnar’s emphatic win over Cena sparked widespread discussion among wrestling analysts. Sam Roberts, host of the Notsam Wrestling podcast, offered his perspective on the shocking decision to have Lesnar squash Cena, especially given Cena’s reputation and appeal to younger fans. Roberts explained that Lesnar’s performance was designed to send a bold message about his unique capacity to disrupt expectations:
“Because it makes you feel bad, and they looked at tonight and said, ‘What was that?’ And I mean, I’ll tell you what it was. It was Brock showing the world what Brock and only Brock can do: Go in, destroy moments, make you believe that he is capable of destroying the moment that he just destroyed and then leaving children crying. Of all matches for John Cena to come to the ring with all those kids, the Brock match is not the one to do it with.”
The Implications of Lesnar’s Return for WWE’s Future Storylines
The aftermath of Lesnar’s Wrestlepalooza performance leaves fans and industry insiders wondering about what will come next for the dominant wrestler. His ability to decisively end high-profile matches positions him as a disruptive force within WWE storylines, but some, including Ricochet, question whether that impact resonates with audiences today.
With Ricochet’s candid remarks and analysts like Sam Roberts weighing in on Lesnar’s unconventional comeback tactics, WWE faces both praise and scrutiny for their booking choices. The response to Lesnar’s explosive return may influence how WWE structures future matches and promotions featuring the former UFC and WWE champion, keeping viewers eager to see if his momentum continues or faces new challenges across rival promotions such as AEW.
