John Cena Returns to WWE as a Babyface, Addresses Brock Lesnar

by

After suffering a tough defeat against Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam, followed by an attack from Brock Lesnar post-match, John Cena made his comeback to WWE TV as a good guy (babyface) on the latest episode of Friday’s SmackDown.

The show welcomed back R-Truth, leading to a playful conversation between the two. Cena quipped about R-Truth’s strange behavior for five months, while WWE’s official account tweeted: “R-Truth reunites with his childhood idol. PEACE IS BACK.

Tag Team Action with Cody Rhodes

Towards the end of the night, Logan Paul challenged John Cena to a fight, with Drew McIntyre joining him in attacking Cena. Cody Rhodes then entered the scene to defend Cena. As a result, Cena and Cody Rhodes formed a team to battle against Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre. The match concluded with a disqualification victory for Cena and Cody Rhodes due to interference, but they managed to stand victorious in the ring, much to the crowd’s delight.

Cena will now take on Paul at WWE Clash in Paris in France.

Addressing Brock Lesnar

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but share my thoughts about the unexpected return of Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam last year, which was his first appearance since 2023! The WWE Universe was taken aback when he attacked me, John Cena, right after Rhodes’ victory. He delivered a crushing F-5 to me, an unforgettable moment indeed!

On SmackDown, Cena issued a direct challenge to “The Beast Incarnate.”

In another world or scenario, I’d never yield to Brock Lesnar… If you’re up for a challenge, feel free to take it on.

Based on Triple H’s latest statements, it appears that John Cena specifically chose Brock Lesnar for a fight, which may be one of the bouts he desires for his retirement wish list.

The situation is poised to potentially lead to an epic confrontation between these two massive stars within the next few months, as the current circumstances demand it.

I’m curious myself about what The Final Boss, Dwayne Johnson, may think of John Cena’s recent transformation.
