Disagreement backstage regarding Brock Lesnar's upcoming WWE match - Reports

Brock Lesnar made a grand return to WWE at SummerSlam in New Jersey, where he set up a feud with John Cena in the latter's final months as an in-ring performer. According to a new report, there's a disagreement backstage regarding Lesnar's upcoming rumored match.

Brock Lesnar's last WWE match was two years ago when he lost to Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam 2023 in Michigan. The Beast Incarnate put over The American Nightmare at the event and disappeared from the product for months. While he was reported to return at WWE Royal Rumble 2024, the Janel Grant lawsuit, in which the former UFC star was initially referenced and later named, against Vince McMahon and the company, scrapped any plans of a return for a long time.

According to Bodyslam.net, there's a divide among people backstage regarding Brock Lesnar's upcoming rumored bout against John Cena. Many are against the idea of The Beast Incarnate going over The Franchise Player, as this could be Cena's last time in the ring with Lesnar.

Meanwhile, some key figures aren't behind the idea of the former world champion losing his first match in over two years to John Cena. The disagreement is ongoing. It'll be interesting to see what's next for both stars in the coming weeks.

WWE has plans for John Cena and Brock Lesnar next month - Reports

John Cena and Brock Lesnar are no strangers to each other, as Cena first crossed paths with Lesnar during the start of his career. After The Beast Incarnate left the company in 2004, the Vince McMahon-led management pushed Cena and Batista as the new faces of the promotion.

The two crossed paths nearly a decade later when Brock Lesnar returned to WWE in 2012. While The Franchise Player prevailed in their encounter at Extreme Rules 2012, The Beast Incarnate made an example out of John Cena at SummerSlam 2014.

According to a report, John Cena and Brock Lesnar's next match would take place in September 2025 at an upcoming premium live event. The live event is set to go head-to-head with AEW's All Out 2025.

Moreover, Lesnar was advertised for the September 12 and 19 episodes of Friday Night SmackDown before the rumored event and match.
