Brock Lesnar vs John Cena: Final Battle Set for Crown Jewel 2025?

Two of the largest names in WWE are purportedly about to wrestle one final time— Brock Lesnar vs John Cena in a match that could define their careers. The long-awaited match is expected to come to fruition at Crown Jewel 2025 in Perth, Australia on October 11

With Cena expected to retire soon and Lesnar only appearing at premium live events, everything seems to be falling into place for this dream match to take center road once again. Here’s everything we know up until now.

Lesnar’s Return: From Hiatus to F5 at SummerSlam 2025

Brock Lesnar surprised everyone by showing up at SummerSlam this year, his first time back in WWE since SummerSlam 2023. He wasted no time, hitting John Cena with a massive F5, bringing back their old rivalry.

But this feels bigger than before. There’s a lot of history between these two, and it feels like this could be the end of something.

Brock Lesnar and John Cena have been going at it since 2012, when Lesnar came back to WWE after being gone for eight years. Remember SummerSlam 2014? Lesnar pretty much destroyed Cena to win the World Heavyweight Championship.

While they faced each other albeit briefly at SummerSlam 2021, there was no real story behind it. The last proper one-on-one match between the two legends was Night of Champions 2014 and ended in disqualification.

Now, over a decade later, we could finally see the rematch they have been waiting for—this time with a decisive winner and potentially the last match of Cena’s illustrious career.

Crown Jewel 2025: The Perfect Stage for Brock Lesnar vs John Cena

Why Paris Might Not Be the Spot

WWE plans to have Clash in Paris on August 31, and Cena’s name is on the list. But, this Paris show isn’t one of WWE’s major events. Plus, Lesnar probably won’t be there since he usually only shows up for the really big, important live events.

Why Crown Jewel is a Better Fit

Crown Jewel 2025, happening on October 11 in Perth, is probably going to be WWE’s biggest international show this year. Lesnar’s been at Crown Jewel a lot before, and the size of the event is perfect for him.

Brock Lesnar vs John Cena headlining the show could even take precedence over current title matches, including:

• Cody Rhodes (World Heavyweight Champion)
• Seth Rollins (Universal Champion)
• Tiffany Stratton & Naomi (Women’s Champions)

The nostalgia, stakes, and legacy of the match might just make it the main event of the night.

Is This Cena’s Last Match Ever?

For years now there has been speculation surrounding John Cena’s retirement from professional wrestling and many in the wrestling community actually believed WrestleMania 41 would be that farewell. But here we are, in WWE’s masterful way, stretching out Cena’s final run, and one more match with Lesnar seems perfect for a send-off.

Regardless of whether Cena wins or loses, this match will end an era. The Face of WWE vs The Beast Incarnate; two giants battling for legacy, pride, and history.

If WWE sets up Brock Lesnar vs John Cena at Crown Jewel 2025, fans should get ready for a wild, tough, and memorable fight. As both men might not show up much after this, it could be their final big clash from the Ruthless Aggression Era on a huge stage.

So circle the date—October 11, 2025. It may be the day Cena says goodbye… after one last battle.
