Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena: What’s Their Head-To-Head Record Against Each Other in WWE?

John Cena’s retirement tour was going great, and according to his plan before SummerSlam. He lost his WWE Undisputed Championship to Cody Rhodes, but that was not the only bad thing that happened to him at SummerSlam. The worst thing that happened to him at SummerSlam was also the worst thing that happened to him the entire year: the return of Brock Lesnar.

Brock Lesnar attacked John Cena with an F5. This, however, was not the only time he attacked John Cena. He again attacked John Cena on the night he retired from SmackDown, delivering not one but two F5 before announcing his match against him at Wrestlepalooza. He then went on to decimate John Cena at Wrestlepalooza with six F5s.
