As The Champ closes his in-ring chapter with WWE, the two stars have shown their respect for the icon.
Over the years, The Beast and the OTC1 have been two of Cena's biggest rivals with memorable matches on the biggest stages. In fact, the Never-Seen 17 faced Lesnar during his retirement tour at Wrestlepalooza, though the match was heavily criticized by fans and experts.
John Cena explains one-sided loss to Brock Lesnar at Wrestlepalooza
The match between the two storied rivals at Wrestlepalooza fell well short of expectations. The Beast Incarnate dominated the encounter with a barrage of suplexes and F-5s, winning the bout in under 10 minutes.
This outcome didn't sit well with the fans, given that John Cena had just turned back into a babyface. During an appearance on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, Cena explained why the match was booked this way.
He said it helped re-establish The Conqueror as a force and to create a mountain for someone to climb down the road. He also hinted that Brock Lesnar could retire at SummerSlam next year, which will be held in Minnesota.
