Brock Lesnar ruined "perfect ending" of WWE SummerSlam, says veteran (Exclusive)

WWE SummerSlam this year was packed with a number of surprises, the biggest of which was Brock Lesnar's return to the company. However, veteran journalist Bill Apter believes that his return at the end of SummerSlam was a mistake.

Cody Rhodes and John Cena had an intense match in the main event of SummerSlam Night Two, which ended with The American Nightmare taking the win. Cena's slow turn back to being a babyface did not go unnoticed by fans, and he received loud cheers despite the loss. That was before Brock Lesnar made his shocking return and laid him out flat in the ring with an F-5.

Speaking on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge's WWE SummerSlam Review, Bill Apter explained why he thought Lesnar should not have returned at WWE SummerSlam's end.

He said:

What happens when wrestlers get too selfish? - Watch Here!

"Brock Lesnar coming out, you know, you're talking about anti-climactic. I would have rather had seen him come out tommorow night at Monday Night RAW, when John Cena might be thanking the fans. I just, it was not, I wanted that sweet, perfect ending with Cena and Cody. A classy ending, and when I heard they, I saw the Lesnar thing, I was like, 'Why? They had a perfect ending, why?'" [3:25 onwards]

As of now, it remains to be seen what is next for Brock Lesnar in WWE.

If there is one storyline he can work on in WWE, Shubhajit would book Roman Reigns’ future with The Bloodline following WrestleMania XL, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former. After Reigns’ exit from the faction, Shubhajit would portray him as an anti-hero trying hard to claw his way back up to the top.
