WWE fans are in for a blockbuster showdown as John Cena and Brock Lesnar will collide at WrestlePalooza on Saturday, September 20, 2025, at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. The match was confirmed after Lesnar made a stunning return on Friday night’s WWE SmackDown, attacking both Cena and Sami Zayn.

The night began with Cena challenging Zayn for the United States Championship, but just as the match reached its peak, the arena shook with Lesnar’s music. The Beast Incarnate stormed into the ring and delivered thunderous F-5s to both Cena and Zayn, leaving them laid out.

The chaos meant the title match ended in a no-contest, but Lesnar wasn’t done. Official: “Cena, WrestlePalooza. Indianapolis. The Beast vs. The GOAT.”

This sets the stage for one of the most anticipated clashes in recent memory. Cena and Lesnar share one of WWE’s fiercest rivalries, with classic encounters dating back nearly two decades. Their matches have defined eras, from Cena’s underdog triumphs to Lesnar’s dominance as a former UFC and WWE champion.

Friday’s ambush was also Lesnar’s first appearance since SummerSlam on August 3, when he shocked fans by hitting Cena with an F-5 after Cena’s loss to Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship.

Now, all roads lead to #WrestlePalooza, where fans will finally witness The GOAT vs. The Beast in what promises to be a brutal, high-stakes encounter in Indianapolis.
