The WWE Universe has been shaken to its core. In a stunning announcement, WWE has officially confirmed that “The Beast Incarnate” Brock Lesnar will make his long-awaited return at Clash in Paris on August 31, 2025. And he’s not coming quietly—Lesnar is coming for none other than John Cena.
For weeks, speculation ran rampant about whether Lesnar would step back into the squared circle after months of silence. Rumors swirled, fans debated endlessly, and social media exploded with theories. Now, the guessing game is over. WWE has dropped the bombshell: Paris will witness a collision of epic proportions as Lesnar and Cena rekindle one of the most iconic rivalries in modern wrestling history.
This will be the first time WWE hosts a major premium live event in France, and the stakes could not be higher. Cena, who has been on a farewell run, promised to give fans unforgettable moments on his way out. But fate had other plans. Just when Cena thought he would write his own ending, The Beast has returned to tear the script apart.
Lesnar’s history with Cena is as brutal as it is legendary. From their clash at Extreme Rules 2012 to the infamous squash match at SummerSlam 2014, where Lesnar dismantled Cena with a barrage of suplexes, their story is carved in WWE lore. Each time these two titans collide, the results are unforgettable. And now, Paris is set to host the next chapter.
The announcement was made during a fiery segment on SmackDown, where Cena stood in the ring addressing his French fans. Just as he promised to deliver a “match that Paris would never forget,” the arena lights went black. A chilling growl echoed through the speakers, followed by the unmistakable guitar riff of Lesnar’s entrance theme. When the spotlight hit the stage, there he was—The Beast, stalking toward the ring with Paul Heyman by his side. The crowd erupted in shock and awe.
Without saying a word, Lesnar stormed the ring and unleashed an F-5 on Cena, leaving the 16-time World Champion flat on the canvas. Heyman then grabbed the microphone and declared, “Paris doesn’t get a retirement tour. Paris gets a funeral. At Clash in Paris, Brock Lesnar conquers John Cena once and for all.”
The WWE Universe is buzzing. Will Cena find a way to outlast The Beast and give the fans of France the triumphant send-off he promised? Or will Lesnar destroy him one final time, cementing his dominance and silencing the Cenation in Europe’s biggest WWE event to date?
One thing is certain: Clash in Paris has just gone from historic to must-see. The City of Light will soon play host to one of the darkest, most destructive showdowns in WWE history. The Beast has returned, and John Cena’s farewell dreams may be shattered under the weight of suplexes and F-5s.
Paris, prepare yourself. Brock Lesnar is coming.
