After a highly anticipated bout at WWE Wrestlepalooza this past weekend, there will be no rematch scheduled between John Cena and Brock Lesnar. The match marked Lesnar’s first appearance in over two years and ended with a decisive victory for him over Cena. This update on the John Cena Lesnar Rematch came shortly after speculation about a potential final confrontation between the two, possibly as part of Cena’s retirement plans.
Details of the Wrestlepalooza Match and Its Aftermath
Brock Lesnar and John Cena opened the Wrestlepalooza event with a hard-fought contest, where Lesnar emerged dominant. After the match, Lesnar delivered multiple F5 finishing moves on Cena before exiting the ring. Cena stayed in the ring to acknowledge the support of the fans, marking a significant moment in what many assumed could lead to a final showdown between these wrestling legends.
Insider Confirmation on the Match’s Finality
Wrestling insider Bryan Alvarez, speaking on Wrestling Observer Live, confirmed there are no further plans for a Cena-Lesnar rematch. He stated,
“That was their last match. And Brock is not his final opponent.”
This statement puts to rest rumors that Lesnar would be involved in Cena’s last fight, scheduled for December. Instead, Cena is confirmed to appear next at the WWE Crown Jewel event in Perth, signaling a different direction for his retirement journey.
The Implications for WWE Storylines and Future Events
The decision not to pursue a rematch between John Cena and Brock Lesnar after Wrestlepalooza removes a major anticipated storyline from WWE’s near future. With Cena’s retirement approaching, WWE will likely focus on different opponents and narratives, particularly at the upcoming Crown Jewel event. Fans can expect fresh rivalries to unfold as the company shifts its focus beyond the Cena-Lesnar rivalry that has been a central storyline for years.
