WWE sent out the following:
Raw General Manager John Laurinaitis proclaimed Brock Lesnar is the new “face of WWE.” Not if John Cena has something to say about it. Lesnar will enter the squared circle for his first WWE match in eight years when he goes to war with Cena at Extreme Rules in an Extreme Rules Match.
Unlike typical WWE-sanctioned bouts, Exteme Rules Matches are no-disqualification and no-countout in nature. With virtually all rules out the window, the only way to win such a contest is by pinfall or submission. The new wrinkle was added none other than Laurinaitis himself.
Lesnar turned the WWE Universe upside down when he returned to WWE on the April 2 edition of Raw SuperShow and immediately targeted Cena with a devastating F-5. The Cenation leader didn’t back down the following week on Raw and responded with an emphatic slap that triggered a near-uncontrollable brawl and left Cena with a busted lip. Little did Cena know he’d later be taking another ride in the whirlwind of the F-5, proving that Lesnar is not only intent on establishing himself as the most dominant WWE Superstar; he wants to dish out punishment every chance he gets, too.
