WWE Hall of Famer Booker T shared his thoughts on Brock Lesnar getting his name cleared after his shocking return at SummerSlam. Lesnar was away for two years after his name was mentioned in the Janel Grant lawsuit against Vince McMahon.
Cody Rhodes defeated John Cena in the main event of Night two of SummerSlam last sunday to clinch the WWE championship. Assumingly, John Cena passed the torch to Rhodes after the clash, giving him the title and raising his arm as the crowd cheered.
After Cena said goodbyes to the MetLife Stadium crowd, Brock Lesnar's music hit and he came down the ring to deliver a thunderous F5 to the WWE icon. Booker T reacted to Lesnar's shocking return at SummerSlam, expressing happiness in seeing him back in action.
"I'm glad he's gotten past this drama, you know what I mean? Because the hardest thing when you're going through drama is just having to sit back and not being able to say anything. I'm glad he's got his name cleared and now he's able to get back in the ring and do what he does best," Booker said.
As per reports, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer said that Lesnar was allowed to return after WWE's Legal team cleared him.
In an interview with Adam's Apple, John Cena reflected on Brock Lesnar's return. Cena was on a different page with Triple H's remarks about the 17-time-world Champion wanting to work with Brock Lesnar, saying that he does what the company wants him to do.
"I think SummerSlam was an indication from the audience where everybody kind of knows where we're closing our book. And just because I close my book in December, that doesn't mean the WWE closes its books. They got to continue their programming going forward. So they're just trying to make the most exciting shows for the fans. A dozen of them I got left. They deal 'em, I play 'em," Cena said. (H/T Sports Illustrated)
Cena is set to finish his farewell tour in December and officially retire as an in-ring performer in WWE.
