When John Cena made his entrance at WWE Wrestlepalooza, he brought out many of his young fans with him, dressed like him. In that moment, viewers were possibly under the impression that Cena was going over Brock Lesnar.
But this was Brock Lesnar’s first match in two years, and he does not simply do the job. An athlete of his stature needs a very good reason to take the fall. This is John Cena’s Farewell Tour, but The Greatest Of All Time has a few more dates before his final match on December 13.
Throw in Paul Heyman and the former UFC Heavyweight Champion’s reunion, and it seems the seeds have been sown for a blockbuster WarGames match in November. Perhaps this is why WWE decided to go with Brock Lesnar drawing first blood.
John Cena Was Originally Slated To Beat Brock Lesnar At WWE Wrestlepalooza
According to BodySlam via Patreon,as of Saturday morning, John Cena was scheduled to defeat Brock Lesnar at WrestlePalooza, but plans were reportedly changed.
Lesnar manhandling The Last Real Champion broke the hearts of many children in attendance. With this bold move, Cena now has a redemption arc to complete before he rides off into the sunset. A win over Lesnar to end his career could be the endgame.
The Never Seen 17 made a career out of overcoming the odds. Big Match John has endured many painful losses and bounced back from them. Should WWE continue the Lesnar storyline till December, it would be reminiscent of Cena’s rivalry with The Rock.
The Farewell Tour has been filled with highs and lows. Despite it peaking with a solid heel turn in March, the success of the heel run is debatable. Eventually, the fans could not continue booing the natural babyface star, and he gave up his villainous ways before SummerSlam, much to everyone’s delight.
The next few weeks should give us a clearer idea of where his story is headed.
