The Cenation Leader's 105-day title reign ended abruptly at the hands of Cody Rhodes in a Street Fight during Night Two of SummerSlam this year.

However, it wasn't just the title change that caught the attention of the WWE Universe. Brock Lesnar's return during the closing moments became the biggest takeaway from the show.

The Beast Incarnate renewed his old rivalry with the Cenation Leader, dropping him with an F5.

As for The Beast Incarnate, there's no word on whether he will be returning to the blue brand this week.

Interestingly, Michael Cole revealed Nick Khan and Triple H reached out to Brock Lesnar several weeks ago, as they felt it was time for him to come home, to which the former Universal Champion replied, "Let's do it."

It seems like WWE will revisit the famous rivalry between Cena and Lesnar on the road to Clash in Paris on August 31.
