WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray has expressed skepticism about the value of a John Cena WWE rematch against Brock Lesnar, following their recent confrontation. This sentiment comes after Cena’s dominant loss to Lesnar last month at WWE WrestlePalooza, where Lesnar delivered multiple F5s, echoing their intense SummerSlam 2014 match that featured numerous German suplexes.
Despite widespread anticipation for a potential rematch, John Cena is slated to fight AJ Styles at WWE Crown Jewel later this month instead. Bully Ray argues that revisiting Lesnar would not benefit either competitor, suggesting Cena pursue other challengers. During his appearance on Busted Open Radio, he stated,
“It’s pro wrestling, anything can happen, but I think that if John would have faced Brock again, it doesn’t do anything for anybody. Yay! John got a win. Who cares? I’d rather see John beat somebody else than beat Brock. Brock destroyed John already, and that was so Brock can move on. Somebody is going to eventually beat Brock, and it’s going to mean even more because Brock destroyed Cena.”
Bully Ray’s remarks stress that Lesnar’s previous dominance over Cena established a significant hurdle, which future contenders can leverage for greater impact.
As Cena prepares for his clash with AJ Styles, Brock Lesnar is expected to remain absent from WWE television for the foreseeable future. WWE legend Tommy Dreamer commented on the landscape post-Cena, noting that Lesnar remains a major force independently. He further highlighted the significance of Cena’s departure for WWE and suggested that a feud between Lesnar and Gunther could elevate The Ring General’s standing considerably.
WWE Plans a Memorable Farewell Event for John Cena
WWE has officially announced that John Cena, a 17-time World Champion, will host his farewell match as the main event of Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13 at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. This event is designed to honor Cena’s remarkable career and provide fans with a special evening.
Triple H emphasized Cena’s invaluable impact on WWE, remarking,
“John’s contributions to WWE are immeasurable. There are no words that can truly relay how much he means to this business. Together with our partners at Events DC and Capital One Arena, we look forward to honoring his legacy and delivering an unforgettable send-off for both John and the WWE Universe.”
The forthcoming show aims to celebrate Cena’s legacy and provide a meaningful close to his in-ring career.
The decision to focus on new rivalries, rather than revisiting Cena’s recent loss to Lesnar, reflects WWE’s intention to shape fresh storylines while preserving the significance of Lesnar’s victory. Cena’s farewell event will be a defining moment, showcasing WWE’s respect for one of its most iconic stars and setting the stage for the company’s future direction.
