John Cena Breaks Silence on Brock Lesnar’s Return at WWE SummerSlam

John Cena isn’t rattled by Brock Lesnar’s shocking return at SummerSlam — in fact, he saw it coming. Days after Lesnar laid him out with an F5 to close out the massive event, Cena finally broke his silence on what fans can expect moving forward.

While speaking to Adam’s Apple, Cena addressed the chaos Lesnar caused at the end of SummerSlam and the possibility of another collision between the two legends. The 16-time world champion kept it real, explaining that he doesn’t call the shots in WWE — he just plays his part.

“Uh, well, um, I’ve been saying the same thing for 25 years. They deal ’em, I play ’em. I’m just really excited. We got like 12 of these things left.”

Cena acknowledged that the crowd at SummerSlam seemed to realize the clock is ticking on his in-ring career. While he’s planning to wrap things up by the end of the year, he emphasized that WWE’s story won’t stop with him.

“I think SummerSlam was an indication from the audience where everybody kind of knows we’re closing our book. And just because I close my book in December, that doesn’t mean the WWE closes its books. They got to continue their programming going forward. So, they’re just trying to make the most exciting show for the fans, man. I got a dozen of them left. They deal ’em, I play ’em.”

It’s no secret that Cena wanted Lesnar to be part of his final run, and Triple H has even admitted Lesnar was on Cena’s personal wishlist for his retirement tour. Now that the Beast has returned, the road is likely leading to a massive showdown between the two at Clash in Paris later this month.

John Cena has made it clear he’s going out on his own terms, but fans may not be ready to say goodbye just yet.
