John Cena and Brock Lesnar, despite having few actual matches with each other, have been synonymous with one another dating back to their time in Ohio Valley Wrestling, where they emerged from an all-time-great class of recruits and rookies to become WWE champions and defining Superstars of an era.

According to reports from POST Wrestling and the Wrestling Observer, the new, yet-to-be-named WWE event is planned for Saturday, September 20th. The show's main event is slated to be Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena.

At the 2025 SummerSlam PLE, the show went off the air with another signature Lesnar moment. After a two-year hiatus, Lesnar returned, delivering an F5 to Cena and leaving. Afterward, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque implied that the return was done at Cena's request.
