John Cena’s much-anticipated WWE return won’t happen at Clash in Paris on August 31, despite speculation that fans might see him reunite with Brock Lesnar sooner. Instead, WWE has seemingly postponed his showdown until a major event slated for September 20, 2025, in Indianapolis.
Clash in Paris, which airs live on August 31, will still feature Cena—but in a different matchup, with Logan Paul stepping up for a high-profile face-off as part of Cena’s farewell tour.
Insider reports suggest that WWE intentionally held Lesnar off the Paris card—with the goal of heightening anticipation for a marquee September event headlined by Cena vs Lesnar.
Recent confirmation came from Dave Meltzer, who noted that the main event for the unannounced September 20 show will indeed pair Brock Lesnar with John Cena.
This strategic decision not only amps up fan excitement but also positions the September clash as one of the most significant matches on Cena’s farewell tour.
