John Cena Explains Thought Process Behind Losing To Brock Lesnar At WWE Wrestlepalooza
John Cena opens up about the thought process behind the match’s decision.
To start WWE’s partnership with ESPN, the Wrestlepalooza Premium Live Event was presented on the ESPN Unlimited streaming service, and one of the marquee bouts was Brock Lesnar versus John Cena.
Lesnar defeated Cena in just under nine minutes. On the newest season of WWE: Unreal on Netflix, Cena explained the thought process behind him losing to Lesnar in the manner that he did.
“That’s it. There’ll be one Brock (Lesnar) in wrestling. End stop. The ‘why’ is losing to Brock does not kill me at all because I’m on my way out, and we’re bringing him back with the intent to give him as much energy so he can begin to give it away. What’s the best way to do that? So yeah, he’s gonna come back and destroy me. Yes. Physically, it’s gonna be a tough night champ, but, that’s what we want.”
Cena’s final match took place at Saturday Night’s Main Event in December 2025, where he was defeated by GUNTHER.
