That rumor could have some more truth to it, as it has seemingly been confirmed via WWE's website that Brock Lesnar will appear on both the September 12 and 19 episodes of SmackDown, while Cena will be appearing on the September 15 episode of Monday Night Raw.

WWE world champion John Cena seemingly doubled down on refuting reports that he requested the return of Brock Lesnar.

Triple H has implied that John Cena played a significant role in the decision to bring Brock Lesnar back to the WWE after his controversial SummerSlam return. The 48-year-old had been absent from the company for two years due to alleged involvement in the Vince McMahon lawsuit.
