Following his unexpected return to WWE programming at SummerSlam this month, Brock Lesnar is being advertised to appear on consecutive episodes of SmackDown in September.

Cody Rhodes is once again undisputed WWE champion. Rhodes outlasted John Cena in a lengthy, hard-fought SummerSlam Night 2 main event on Sunday to regain the championship he lost to Cena at WrestleMania. But it was Brock Lesnar's return to WWE after the main event that will be the main talking point for many.

As he embarks on the final months of his legendary career, John Cena has reiterated his long-standing professional philosophy. In a new interview, the 17-time world champion claimed that in his 23 years with WWE, he has "never once chosen his opponent."
