#2. Brock Lesnar Brings The Pain At SummerSlam 2025

The main event of SummerSlam: Night Two featured a competitive, thrilling 5-star WWE Championship match between Cody Rhodes and John Cena. The American Nightmare regained the top prize, and Cena endorsed Rhodes following their epic clash. The Never Seen 17 soaked in the packed crowd’s applause, but his moment was cut short by a familiar foe.

After a two-year absence, Brock Lesnar made his earth-shattering return to WWE. Lesnar had been implicated in the Janet Grant lawsuit, and some believed that the Beast would never step into the squared circle again. Nonetheless, in true “Brock Lesnar” fashion, the Conqueror laid out Cena with an F5 as the crowd looked on in shock.

Given the lawsuit and allegations, it was a controversial move to bring Lesnar back, and some fans were unhappy with the decision. However, the Beast received a thunderous ovation, and his comeback generated much excitement.
