Word is WWE will run a main roster event in Indianapolis on Sat., Sept. 20 — the same day AEW holds All Out 2025 in Toronto. Many connected the dots between that item and WWE holding off on scheduling a Lesnar/Cena bout.

At the 2025 SummerSlam PLE, the show went off the air with another signature Lesnar moment. After a two-year hiatus, Lesnar returned, delivering an F5 to Cena and leaving. Afterward, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque implied that the return was done at Cena's request.
