• “He’s a gem to work with. We’re honored to have Brock Lesnar back” – Highest Ranking WWE Official
During an interview with UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier, WWE President Nick Khan talked about Brock Lesnar returning to WWE programming after a two-year hiatus:
“I’m not saying he’s in the UFC every day, but when he walks into a room, he looks and usually is the baddest dude on the planet. And that’s what he looks like, and that’s his personification.
By the way, he’s a gem to work with. Easy. As long as he knows things in advance, there are no issues. We’re honored to have him back.
I’m happy he’s here, and I hope you enjoyed the WarGames match he was in.”
• John Cena Is Not Happy About His Father’s Comments About His Final Match
Earlier this week, John Cena’s father stirred debate when he weighed in on who his son’s final opponent should be. He said that GUNTHER wouldn’t be a wise choice as The Ring General doesn’t need the rub.
He also questioned the idea of passing the torch on the way out, noting that Cena had already done so with Cody Rhodes by defeating him for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41 and later dropping the title back to The American Nightmare at SummerSlam.
He went on to suggest other potential opponents for The GOAT’s final match, naming Kurt Angle as his top choice, followed by Edge (Adam Copeland), Chris Jericho and even a wildcard pick of JBL.
Appearing on the Joe Rogan Experience ahead of his final match next week, John Cena addressed his father’s comments and said that he can say some messed up stuff at times.
“There’s some sh*t he’ll say that’s all f**ked up. He said some sh*t yesterday that like, ‘I don’t think John’s last opponent should be…’ and people listen to him because he’s a wrestling fan – and I want to call my dad and be like, ‘What the f**k are you doing?’
But he’s doing what he does. This is him. This is the John Cena I love.”
GUNTHER defeated LA Knight on SmackDown to win The Last Time Is Now Tournament. The Ring General will now face John Cena at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
