Overview

• After Cody Rhodes reclaimed the Undisputed WWE Championship from John Cena at MetLife Stadium, Lesnar made his first WWE appearance in two years and delivered an F5 to Cena.
• His return ended a two-year absence tied to the Janel Grant lawsuit, after WWE shelved his planned comebacks at the 2024 Royal Rumble and WrestleMania.
• Triple H said Lesnar’s comeback shifted the live atmosphere so dramatically that it rendered preexisting storylines obsolete.
• WWE flew Lesnar into Teterboro Airport and kept his involvement hidden from most writers and producers to preserve the surprise.
• The F5 assault lays the groundwork for a high-profile rematch on Cena’s farewell tour, with Clash in Paris later this month identified as the likely setting.
