Lesnar, who was named in the federal lawsuit against former WWE chairman Vince McMahon, attacked Cena after Sunday's conclusion to the two-event weekend.

At one point, Cena came up through the elevator shaft on the entrance way with Rhodes on his shoulders and walked him back to the ring. That exhausted him enough for Rhodes to take advantage. He removed a bottom turnbuckle and blasted him over the head with the steel piece.

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.
