WWE megastar returns at SummerSlam amidst sex trafficking lawsuit
Shocking returns are a common occurrence in the world of professional wrestling, but this one really caught fans off guard. Article content After the main event of WWE SummerSlam on Sunday night, Brock Lesnar made his return to the squared circle, coming down to the ring and putting a beatdown on John Cena. Article content Article content Lesnar, who had been away from the company for two years, had been named in the ongoing sex trafficking lawsuit against former WWE head honcho Vince McMahon. Article content BROCK. LESNAR. IS. BACK. HERE COMES THE PAIN! 👊 — WWE (@WWE) August 4, 2025 Article content In the lawsuit, which was filed in January 2024, McMahon is accused of sexual assault and sex trafficking by former WWE employe Janel Grant. Article content While Grant's original complaint did not include Lesnar's name — it only referencing a 'world-famous athlete and former UFC Heavyweight Champion' — he was officially named by Grant in federal court in an amended complaint in February. Article content In the suit, Grant accused McMahon of asking her to create 'personalized sexual content' for Lesnar — who is not a defendant in the case — during his contract negotiations and that McMahon flew the superstar to Connecticut in 2021 for a sexual encounter that didn't end up happening. Article content McMahon has denied all allegations by Grant while his attorney called naming Lesnar in the suit a 'publicity stunt.' Article content 'As expected, the proposed amended complaint is nothing more than the latest publicity stunt in an ongoing smear campaign,' McMahon's attorney Jessica Rosenberg said in a statement to ESPN. 'It is filled with desperate falsehoods from a team that continues to disregard the law and the truth.' Article content With the lawsuit ongoing, the company had made efforts to distance itself from Lesnar, taking down his merchandise from its online store and removing his playable character from the WWE 2K24 video game. Article content Article content His previous appearance had been at SummerSlam in 2023, which also was held at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. On Sunday night, after Cody Rhodes defeated Cena to win the WWE Universal Championship, Lesnar came down to the ring and hit his F5 finishing move on Cena before celebrating. Article content His appearance garnered a mixed reaction by those in attendance and was widely criticized on social media. Article content WWE defended its decision to bring back Lesnar despite the allegations and ongoing nature of the suit. Article content 'My reaction was exactly what I thought it was gonna be, which was, if there had been a roof on this place, it wouldn't be here anymore,' WWE chief content officer Paul 'Triple H' Levesque said during the SummerSlam post-show. Article content 'The dynamic in the room in WWE changes when The Beast is here,' he added. 'Seeing Brock Lesnar come back, anything that you thought was happening sort of all goes out the window because the factor of Brock now just changes that dynamic so incredibly. It makes it unpredictable.'

Calgary man home after cycling more than 500 kilometres across Iowa for veterans
Geoff Low and his wife returned to Calgary after cycling more than 500 kilometres across Iowa to raise money for the Veterans Association. A Calgarian has returned home after an ambitious journey -- raising money for veterans. Last month, CTV News reported about veteran Geoff Low preparing to take part in a bike ride with his wife Rosanne, called 'Rag-Brai' to raise awareness and funds for the Veterans Association. After seven days cycling more than 500 kilometres across Iowa, he crossed the finish line and raised a few hundred dollars including a donation from an American Legion. Low said he's planning on going back next year -- and hopes to inspire more veterans across the province and country to join him. 'The more people I can get to join us, the better it is for us because then we can relate to each other,' Low said. 'We can talk to each other. It doesn't even have to be other veterans, it's the ones that want to sit and listen to our stories and be heard.' Although this year's ride is done, Low is encouraging people to provide support to the Veterans Association.
