Overview
- Lesnar dominated John Cena in under nine minutes at Wrestlepalooza, with Paul Heyman introducing him before the bell.
- WWE has quickly moved Cena into a Crown Jewel match with AJ Styles, and reports note he has limited dates left on his farewell run.
- Bron Breakker has been floated as a candidate, though recent storyline signals of respect between Lesnar and Heyman make that matchup unlikely for now.
- A Lesnar showdown with Gunther has been discussed in past reporting and is again being cited as a potential route to re-establish the former champion as a top-tier threat.
- NXT champion Oba Femi is being mentioned as a possible main-roster opponent, with oddsmakers expecting him to drop his title at No Mercy before a call-up.
