Brock Lesnar made a dramatic comeback at the SummerSlam 2025 Premium Live Event, immediately shaking up the WWE landscape by attacking John Cena. Following this explosive return, the Beast Incarnate has been absent, but there are strong indications he is set to join a prominent WWE faction upon his return to Friday Night SmackDown.
WWE’s official schedule lists Lesnar for the September 12 and 19 episodes of SmackDown, fueling speculation that he may form an alliance with Paul Heyman and Seth Rollins’ villainous group known as The Vision. This potential partnership could provide mutual benefits for Lesnar and the faction, creating new storylines and rivalries.
Sources suggest Paul Heyman might announce that The Vision will offer support to Lesnar whenever he needs it, strengthening the group’s influence. This alliance would also build anticipation for a projected match between Seth Rollins and John Cena later this year, triggered by Cena’s conflict with Lesnar after his recent interference.
There is also buzz about the possibility of Lesnar eventually turning against The Vision, which could pave the way for an exciting showdown between him and Bron Breakker, representing a highly anticipated WWE match. However, officials have yet to confirm any of these developments, leaving fans eagerly awaiting further updates.
Insights from UFC Figures on Lesnar’s Locker Room Experience
Reflecting on Lesnar’s return, former UFC fighter and analyst Chael Sonnen commented that Lesnar may feel justified in holding some grievances toward the WWE locker room. Sonnen highlighted that during challenging periods, Lesnar might have discovered unexpected realities about who his real allies were within WWE.
“Brock has the right to have some resentment. Brock has the right to look around. I mean, there’s a time in your life when you find out who your friends are, and that could be a blessing and a curse, because a lot of the ones you were sure would be there aren’t. And I am sure when Brock Lesnar got back to the locker room, oh my goodness, it’s great to see you, and there were hugs all around,” he said. [00:00 – 00:28]
