In a stunning and chaotic opening segment on SmackDown ahead of Wrestlepalooza 2025, Brock Lesnar unleashed a series of devastating F5s, targeting a former wrestler who has been out of competition for 11 years. This unexpected rampage set the tone for the night and put the audience on high alert.
As SmackDown began, commentator Michael Cole announced he had a planned backstage interview with Lesnar. However, Lesnar abruptly abandoned the idea, seizing Cole halfway down the ramp and dragging him toward the ring. It appeared Lesnar might attack Cole, but Corey Graves intervened, urging Lesnar to hold back and allow the interview to proceed.
Lesnar Targets Corey Graves with Multiple F5 Attacks
Lesnar quickly shifted his focus to Corey Graves, a retired wrestler since 2014 who has recently gained medical clearance to compete again. Without hesitation, Lesnar lifted Graves and executed an F5 inside the ring. His fury escalated as he then hurled the prime stand and steel steps, prompting desperate pleas from the referees to calm down.
Ignoring the officials, Lesnar returned to the ring and landed yet another F5 on Graves, intensifying the chaos. After the violent episode, Lesnar issued a warning message that Wrestlepalooza would be “D-Day” for the greatest of all time, signaling his intent to target John Cena.
Backstage Confrontation with Paul Heyman and New Faces
Following the destruction, Lesnar encountered his former advocate, Paul Heyman, backstage. Heyman was flanked by Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker as Lesnar suggested they needed to have a discussion. Heyman appeared receptive, indicating that a dialogue between the former allies was imminent.
This explosive segment not only reignited Brock Lesnar’s intensity leading into Wrestlepalooza 2025 but also hinted at upcoming confrontations involving key figures like John Cena, Paul Heyman, and emerging talents Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker. The show set a tense atmosphere filled with unpredictable possibilities for the wrestling community.
