Triple H has landed in hot water with fans after his comments about Brock Lesnar's return were seemingly contradicted by John Cena. WWE has been trending worldwide since The Beast Incarnate's shocking return at SummerSlam 2025. The fan reaction has been mixed, with some fans excited to see Lesnar back and some questioning the decision due to the controversies that have surrounded the 48-year-old over the last couple of years.
Immediately after Brock's return, an online discourse sparked about whose decision it was to bring him back. During the SummerSlam Post-Show, Triple H hinted that John Cena wanted to work with Lesnar, leading to The Beast Incarnate's return.
John Cena reacted to Lesnar's return in a recent interview, in which he seemingly contradicted The Game's comments. This may not sit well with TKO and lead to the 56-year-old's removal as the Chief Content Officer of WWE.
During an impromptu interview with Adam Glyn on Adam's Apple, John Cena had the following to say about Brock Lesnar's return at SummerSlam 2025:
"I think SummerSlam was an indication from the audience, where everybody kind of knows where we’re closing our book. And just because I close my book in December, that doesn’t mean the WWE closes its books. They['ve] got to continue their programming going forward. So, they’re just trying to make the most exciting shows for the fans. A dozen of them I've got left. They deal ‘em, I play ‘em," Cena said. [H/T: WrestleOps' X]
This contradicts The Game's comment about John Cena hand-picking Brock Lesnar as his opponent, as The Never Seen 17 clearly stated that he will simply face whoever the company wants him to face. Triple H's misleading remarks may cause him to step down from his role as the CCO, as TKO may not appreciate a key authority figure like The Game being at the center of a controversy.
That said, this is just speculation, and no official report has suggested the same.
Triple H reacts to Brock Lesnar's return at WWE SummerSlam 2025
While speaking on the SummerSlam Post-Show, Triple H revealed his reaction to Brock Lesnar's shocking return at The Biggest Party of The Summer. The Beast Incarnate laid out John Cena with an F-5 after The Franchise Player lost the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes in a brutal Street Fight.
The Game noted how Brock's presence has led to a complete shift in the dynamic of WWE, making it unpredictable for fans.
"My reaction was exactly what I thought it was gonna be, which was, if there had been a roof on this place, it wouldn't be here anymore. The dynamic in the room in WWE changes when The Beast is here. Seeing Brock Lesnar come back, anything that you thought was happening sort of all goes out the window because the factor of Brock now just changes that dynamic so incredibly. It makes it unpredictable."
It will be interesting to see what The Beast Incarnate does next in the Stamford-based promotion.
