WWE SummerSlam Night 2 takeaways: Brock Lesnar's return draws a new dark cloud to John Cena's final year
WWE SummerSlam Night 2 crowned a new Undisputed WWE Champion in Cody Rhodes, set the stage for another unexpected showdown between John Cena and Brock Lesnar, and put a bow on the promotion's two-night summer extravaganza from MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Here are our biggest takeaways from New Jersey as we unpack how WWE moves forward from SummerSlam. 1. Cena's exceptional showing overshadowed by Lesnar's shocking return For everything that WrestleMania 41's main event was not, SummerSlam's was. From John Cena's monotone entrance to his actual match against Cody Rhodes, their April showdown in Las Vegas left much to be desired. After Cena promised a return to his roots at this past Friday's "SmackDown," he played the hits fans anticipated for his final run. For the first time since the Elimination Chamber, Cena's titantron played, he made his familiar run to the ring — and he put together his best match in years. Cena was inspired and showed he can still go as he and Rhodes brawled around the ring, through the crowd, into the Codyvator, and back into the ring. Drama lingered throughout the night with speculation around who may play a role in the finish to this Undisputed WWE Championship rematch. In the end, though, it was just Rhodes and Cena, with the challenger saluting the champion, connecting on a Cross Rhodes to take the title back and placing a certain uncertainty around the final four months of Cena's career as they shared an emotional moment together — but only briefly. While it wouldn't have been a total shock for The Rock, or even Travis Scott, to make their way to the ring afterward, Brock Lesnar's return wasn't on anyone's bingo cards heading into Sunday night. If nothing else, the decision offered immediate clarity on Cena's future. Lesnar has been absent from WWE television since August 2023, when he lost to Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam. Outside of the ring, Lesnar's absence followed him being named in a federal lawsuit against former company chairman Vince McMahon, which alleges sexual misconduct in 2021 by McMahon. Lesnar is not named as a defendant in the suit, but was named in allegations that involved former WWE employee Janel Grant, who filed the suit in January 2024. Just as Cena appeared to be pivoting from what was a disappointing stretch in the final year of his career, a very different black cloud now lingers over his next challenge. 2. Another triple-threat match crushes it In a vacuum, this one was fantastic, especially as an opener. Rhea Ripley, Iyo Sky and Naomi put on an exceptional match that pushed the pace and continued to push WWE Women's World Champion Naomi as a savvy veteran. The finish, with Naomi taking advantage of an Avalanche Riptide on Sky to roll up Ripley and sneak away as the champion, was the logical conclusion for how this story continues moving. As good as this one was, it's difficult not to compare this against the WrestleMania 41 triple-threat match between Ripley, Sky, and Bianca Belair, and it didn't quite reach that level. What does stand out is how much chemistry Ripley and Sky have, and their ability to seamlessly flex between triple-threat and singles matches. Sky has perhaps been the wrestler of the year in WWE throughout 2025, and Ripley is well on her way to being the greatest women's wrestler in WWE history, if she's not already there yet. Naomi keeps moving along as the champion ahead of an already scheduled Aug. 31 showdown with Stephanie Vaquer at the Clash in Paris event in a match that could see another swing of momentum at the top of the "WWE Raw" women's division. The Women's World Championship picture right now is insane, with no shortage of talent or challengers. 3. Tables, ladders, chairs, and chaos After missing out on WrestleMania 41 earlier this year, DIY, the Motor City Machine Guns and the Street Profits put together a "Friday Night Smackdown" TLC match that felt very much like they were sending a message — they belonged on the card. WWE didn't miss on its second chance to get the WWE Tag Team Championships on one of its biggest shows of the year, resulting in an absolutely unhinged six-pack TLC match. In a showcase of the promotion's most stacked tag-team division in years, everyone had their moments. Candice LeRae's fall from the ladder inside the ring, sideways through a ladder on the outside, looked brutal. Coordinating table spots around all four corners of the ring was brilliant. Nathan Frazier recreating the Edge spear on Tommaso Ciampa hanging from the ladder, but missing was perfect. The finish felt a bit flat, as everything signaled new champions being crowned in the frenetic run to the end of the match. Run-in after run-in gave the Wyatt Sicks the win and felt too reminiscent of the last few years of the Bloodline's run. 4. Lyra Valkyria and Becky Lynch never needed no DQs Lyra Valkyria and Becky Lynch have put on some of the best matches in arguably the best rivalry in WWE this year. Positioned on the card after the six-pack TLC match, Valkyria and Lynch were in a difficult position before the bell rang. But to open the door for their match to also have an element of chaos, with no disqualifications, felt like poor structuring of the card. The TLC match was going to have huge spots and the card needed time to breathe before getting back into a weapons-heavy match. Lynch and Valkyria never felt like it needed a "No DQs" stipulation and my preference would've been for a standard one-on-one match. But the duo did the best they could with what they were given. Valkyria wrestling a chunk of the match with her hands tied together was fantastic, and adding Bayley to the finish was always going to make sense. Bayley turning down Lynch's offer to join her, only to accidentally hit Valkyria and cost her a chance to compete for the Women's Intercontinental Championship while Lynch is champion makes the path forward here intriguing. A Bayley victory over Lynch at some in the near future could make Sunday's trilogy stipulation pointless. We'll have to see how this one plays out and where Valkyria goes after a stellar rivalry with Lynch. 5. Solo Sikoa needs to find his fight There was a moment when Solo Sikoa seemed like one of the baddest dudes in WWE. He was the muscle for Roman Reigns, the reason guys like Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre weren't able to overcome the Bloodline, and seemed well-positioned to take a giant leap forward as his family continued to make their presence felt. While his relationship with Reigns devolved as recently as last year, he was nonetheless wrestling Rhodes and Reigns in a tag-team main event of a PLE, and subsequently challenging Reigns on the "Monday Night Raw" Netflix debut in Tribal Combat. There's no question that Jacob Fatu is a future world champion and is being groomed as such. But the reliance Sikoa has on the MFT, and to see how far he's fallen from a legitimate challenger for the world title is difficult to see. He retained the United States Championship in a way that made him feel like Shawn Michaels needing the help of Diesel to cling to his title — in other words, not a serious threat to WWE's fastest-rising star. Hopefully that positioning changes as their rivalry evolves. Other thoughts: - Montez Ford continues to operate like a major star, with charisma, the look and the in-ring ability that should mean more runway as a singles wrestler. There's nothing wrong with him continuing to see success as a member of the Street Profits, but I would love to see more opportunities for a guy who's oozing intensity. - Dominik Mysterio and AJ Styles delivered as a breather in the middle of a card stacked with end-to-end energy. There were fantastic callbacks to Eddie Guerrero, from Styles paying homage with his entrance and gear, the duo trading fake chair shots, and Mysterio ending Styles night with a boot to the head. Mysterio remains a bright spot anywhere he's positioned and has flexed across the roster in a way his father made a career. The future remains bright for Mysterio.

29 Best TV Shows Canceled After One Season
We asked the BuzzFeed Community which canceled TV shows need to come back for at least one more season. Here's what they said: The Acolyte (2024) "People hated it because it was dark and made the Jedi look bad. Um, The Clone Wars (animated series) did that. The Jedi weren't perfect, which was the point of the show. Disney needs to finish what it started."—bmw1138 Sweet/Vicious (2016–2017) "That show was absolutely amazing and really empowered me. It's so unfair it was canceled." —kxllynxcxlx My Lady Jane (2024) "Perfect (and highly rated) season. It's the historical retelling of a queen, it has strangers/enemies to lovers/forced marriage tropes, and shapeshifters exist! Need it renewed nowww!"—grumpypumpkin44 I Am Not Okay With This (2020) "I really miss I Am Not Okay With This. They left off on a pretty huge cliffhanger."—maybbeyesmaybbeno"That show was so good and deserved at least two seasons! They left it on kind of a cliffhanger. 😥"—furrywitch58 I Love That for You (2022) "I Love That for You stars Vanessa Bayer as a woman who lands her dream job as a QVC-like host, and as a last-ditch effort to keep from getting fired, she lies about having cancer. The whole thing is funny and dark and charming, and it's actually inspired by Bayer's real-life battle with childhood leukemia."—Spencer Althouse Ghosted (2017–2018) "Everything is right about the entire cast and storyline."—vinswe Dead Boy Detectives (2024) "This show had such good queer representation, and besides, was near-perfect with their casting, and the premise was interesting as well. I genuinely do not know what possessed Netflix to cancel it."—thviony"Dead Boy Detectives deserved more time. Fans have been waiting for this show since the original duo from Doom Patrol was recast. Lukas Gage as Cat King was also iconic and ICONIC queer supernatural representation."—reneb4b1d76327"Dead Boy Detectives is a brilliant show and absolutely deserves to top this list. It is everything: fun, funny, quirky, heartfelt, and brilliantly, unapologetically queer. If you haven't seen it yet, you absolutely should. It wraps up neatly at the end of the season, with all of the major character arcs completed. It's my favorite show in years, easily."—asidian"I was absolutely GUTTED when they cancelled Dead Boy Detectives. It's such a great, solid show. Amazing acting, writing, set design, costuming, music, the works. They peppered in so many hidden details that every rewatch is rewarding. And all of that without even mentioning the stellar representation. Real bonehead move by Netflix."—purpleskull745 Teenage Bounty Hunters (2020) "I loved it and was really disappointed when it got canceled."—peacefulmoon808 Archive 81 (2022) "It had a great story that unfortunately didn't get to finish."—bougielion556 My So-Called Life (1994) "Any of these lists that don't include My So-Called Life are just wrong."—surprisedsquid571 Almost Human (2013) Pitch (2016) "Pitch deserved more than 10 episodes. Plus, it ended with a cliffhanger!"—brandonm4b1db21b4 The Brink (2015) "The Brink deserved a second season and the writers set up the second season with the ending of the first season. It had a great cast, great story, and it was hilarious. I haven't heard why HBO decided to cancel that show. I've always wanted the writers of cancelled shows to provide an outline of how the rest of the show would have played out so the fans can get some closure."—hlane09 Kindred (2022) "I know it's a book too, but it was SUCH a good show — they left that poor man in the past and just canceled the show like wtf?!?!?"—j4287b3497 How to Die Alone (2024) "A brand new one recently cancelled was How to Die Alone, created by and starring Natasha Rothwell. You might recognize her as Belinda in The White Lotus or Kelli on Insecure. Mel is a broke JFK airport employee who has never experienced love; a near-death accident inspires her to dream and live life again. It's warm, charming, and funny. I liked it a lot, watched it twice through already and am super bummed Hulu isn't picking it up."—joandough The Gates (2010) "It had one season, left on a cliffhanger, was set for Season 2, then it was axed. But man, it was a good show."—lyrablack Panic (2021) "What a great show. Plus, it has Ray Nicholson, the son of Jack Nicholson!! This show truly showed his depth into acting and out of his dad's shadow."—chrystinamecca A League of Their Own (2022) "I was heartbroken when I heard it was canceled."—ejt263"First, Prime Video said it was renewed, then only for four episodes, and finally canceled. A real gut punch to a show with such heart and potential."—buttercupbailey Night Sky (2022) "One season and then it just left us hanging. Pissed me off so much! It was really frustrating that they didn't finish it. I don't want to invest my time in TV shows anymore..."—teri_dactyl Deadly Class (2019) "I love the characters and I was so sad when I heard it was canceled."—lazyzebra25 High Fidelity (2020) "It was so irritating to only have one season."—brookemonaco Spinning Out (2020) "The plot was SO good. It was so refreshing for a teen drama to not fit the same high school cookie cutter setting. The acting was high quality, too. This show was perfectly cast, and all of the actors were so amazing. It was unreal! This show covered real issues that people deal with, like mental health. The final episode was set up to imply a second season... I really wish we had the opportunity to see it." —wallows Julie and the Phantoms (2020) "The cliffhanger was too brutal to not give us more episodes. And the MUSIC we're missing out on without a second season? Unreal omg."—denydenydeny"This was when I REALLY started distancing myself from Netflix, and I've had trust issues ever since. 😭"—lilqueenb19"They left us with a cliffhanger, and I can't accept that."—oddhouse282 Firefly (2002) "Firefly definitely should have had more seasons. Excellent writing, great characters, a western in space show."—artisticsedan585 Reboot (2022) "Reboot is a comedy about a group of actors from a 2000s sitcom whose show is getting rebooted in the present day. Much like 30 Rock, what follows is a behind-the-scenes look at 'a show within a show,' along with its highly dysfunctional cast. It's topical, clever, and just plain good."—Spencer Althouse Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies (2023) "I was one of the lucky TV watchers who got to see Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies before it was canceled and taken off of Paramount+, and ooof this one hurt. This show had truly some of the most incredible performances by up and coming actors, like I was absolutely floored by the amount of sheer talent this cast possessed. Like, these writers literally gave us MULTIPLE original songs every episode, and the production quality was so incredible that it was like watching mini music videos. Not only was it just a fun take on the movie we know so well, but this series felt so much more inclusive in ways the 1978 movie wasn't. The LGBTQ+ and BIPOC storylines gave the series so much more depth, and I'm so heartbroken those arcs won't get to be explored anymore." —Lauren Garafano"Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies most definitely needs a final season. That show was very entertaining, and the only television show using a musical theme drove the show. I love it, miss it, and want it back!!!"—freshsealion58 The Society (2019) "I swear I think about this cancelation at least twice a week. It's this Lord of the Flies-esque story but set in this fictional town in Connecticut, and I ate it up. One of the things that made me so angry was that the series DID get renewed for a second season, but the renewal got reversed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Like, at this point I don't even care that the cast is significantly older and it wouldn't even make sense to do a second season. I NEED IT!!!! The Season 1 cliffhanger is truly one of those TV mysteries that haunts me — I just wanna know what happened! Let me at least read the Season 2 script!! Please!!!"—Lauren Garafano"The Society needs a Season 2. I think it's unfair how its renewal was reversed despite it having a much better storyline than some shows."—savorygoat961"I have watched The Society over and over. I even watch the YouTube music videos dedicated to Campbell and Elle and Harry, etc.. I'M SO VERY DISAPPOINTED with Netflix for taking this away from us. Stop screwing around already and renew our shows!!!"—fancybutterfly176"I think about this show like three times a week. The acting was good and the mystery was good, a lot better done than a lot of shows with this nothing. I was really excited to see how it wrapped up. Also, it was fascinatingly realistic(ish). Please, even just the script for Season 2."—velaris9173 Freaks and Geeks (1999–2000) "I was devastated when Freaks and Geeks was canceled, but that was probably the best thing that could have happened to the young actors on that show. Almost all of them have become super successful and it's unlikely that would have happened if the show had gone on for a long time. Secondly, I read an interview with Paul Feig once and his plans for the second season were AWFUL. So it's just as well that it ended when it did!"—nastymagazine42"After only one season, the show didn't get the chance it deserved. It had classic lines and meme-able scenes, too. The show was set up for a second season it never got." —tessap439fbd8db"Does Lindsay follow the Grateful Dead? All of those actors were incredible, and it was such a fun vibe. Plus, I need to know what happens!"—doribullerman And finally, AJ and the Queen (2020) "As soon as you get invested in the characters, the show ends on a cliffhanger. It was something that I've never seen before on TV. I loved it." —sierram43e95c428"I need to know if they go back on the road, or did the new club ever open. You can't just leave it with them hugging in the grass after AJ found out her mom didn't write the letters!"—vikings_girl What shows do you think deserve another season? Let us know in the comments! And be sure to send this to any of your friends who (like me) will never get over The Society's cancellation. Do you love all things TV and movies?
