10 New Directions For WWE After SummerSlam 2025
1. One More Whirl For Cena & Brock Lesnar
What John Cena wants, John Cena gets.
Cena wanted to work with Brock Lesnar during his year long retirement send off, so that's exactly what's going to happen. Granted, this guy isn't sure anybody realistically saw Brock’s return coming whilst depressing legalities are still ongoing away from the ring, but he attacked John Cena once his old rival lost the WWE Title to Cody. So, we now know one more battle is incoming between babyface Cena and brutish Brock.
The match vs. Cena will be huge box office no matter where it happens. Clash In Paris doesn’t seem big enough to host that kind of confrontation (sorry, France!), so WWE may play the waiting game. John’s heel turn and alliance with The Rock in March proved to be a waste of time, but at least he can end the retirement tour on a high note, then Brock can go on to wrestle Gunther.
Gunther is another who has been vocal about wrestling Lesnar in the past, and it'd make sense for Triple H to go all in on that once Brock has had one last dance with JC. The Austrian can think of it as a reward for hauling Bill Goldberg to something passable at Saturday Night's Main Event, and for effectively being a transitional champion over the past couple of months.
Cena doesn't have too many dates left on his deal to fulfil, so Lesnar might need to grab a mic and set this one up solo. Those promos could prove to be must-see, but Brock might well need some help to build towards this 'One Last Time' special occasion.
Once Cena and Gunther are in the rear view mirror, there's every chance that Lesnar will target new WWE Champ Cody Rhodes again too.
