Brock Lesnar Ruins John Cena’s Last Night On SmackDown
John Cena had challenged Sami Zayn for the United States Championship in a superb opener on SmackDown as he bid farewell to the blue brand one final time. The pair put an excellent match with near falls and Cena paying homage to some of his greatest rivals such as Edge, Kurt Angle and CM Punk.
Both Cena and Zayn were laid out on the mat when Brock Lesnar’s music hit, and the Beast headed to the ring, dragging the referee out of the ring. He first hit the United States Champion with an F-5 before turning his attention to the challenger.
Lesnar then delivered two F-5s to Cena before exiting the ring and staring back at his rival, whom he had previously attacked on his return to WWE at SummerSlam. He made his way backstage to a chorus of boos after ruining the final SmackDown and Chicago appearance of the 17-time world champion.
