Lesnar’s Dominant Return and Controversial SmackDown Incident
Brock Lesnar shocked the wrestling world upon his return at SummerSlam, where he delivered a powerful F5 to John Cena, signaling his intent to dominate again. This week on SmackDown, Lesnar interrupted an open challenge match between Cena and United States Champion Sami Zayn, where the two competitors were locked in a competitive bout.

This led Russo to express doubts about Cena’s chances against a fierce competitor like Brock Lesnar.
“Bro, on SmackDown, John Cena went 50-50 with Sami Zayn. And now we’re supposed to believe Cena can beat Brock Lesnar? This is what I’m talking about, bro. There is no thought put into this,” Russo said.
