WWE could plan a major swerve with Brock Lesnar in John Cena's final match, according to former writer

John Cena's match with Brock Lesnar at WWE Wrestlepalooza was heavily criticized, and the feud was ended abruptly following the event. Meanwhile, Vince Russo believes there's still a possibility that the company could pull a major swerve between the two legends.

The Franchise Player was defeated with ease at Wrestlepalooza in Indiana when The Beast Incarnate hit him with 6 F5s. Many expected the feud to continue and John Cena to get a win over his longtime rival before he wraps up his in-ring career in December.

Speaking on Behind The Turnbuckle Studios' The Coach and Bro Show, Vince Russo stated that there's a possibility Lesnar could be Cena's final opponent. He pitched a scenario where Brock Lesnar would attack the winner of 'The Last Time is Now' tournament and take the winner's place at Saturday Night's Main Event.

"They're not thinking about him, coach. That's the problem. If [John] Cena is your property, you're doing that... I'm still holding out that whoever wins the tournament. Brock Lesnar's going to take them out, and Brock Lesnar's going to have the match with Cena. I'm still holding out for that, coach," Russo said.
