John Cena and Brock Lesnar are set to collide one final time in a WWE ring at Wrestlepalooza on September 20.
Lesnar attacked Cena at SummerSlam, setting up their first singles match in WWE since Night of Champions in 2014.
Cena could reach 100 WWE wins against Lesnar as he continues to break new ground on his retirement tour.
A WWE legend, who wrestled both Lesnar and Cena, has explained which of the two legends was the strongest.
The Big Show said John Cena is stronger than Brock Lesnar
The Big Show is one of the biggest stars in WWE history, and he was asked about the strongest stars he’s come up against.
Asked by Chris Van Vliet who was stronger between Lesnar, Goldberg, and Cena, The Big Show responded: “John Cena, hands down.
“Brock is probably the most explosive athlete I’ve ever been in the ring with. Brock moves so quick it’s scary sometimes,” explained the World’s Largest Athlete.
However, The Big Show believed Cena was actually stronger than The Beast Incarnate, despite the latter’s legitimate combat sports background.
“As far as picking me up, nobody’s like John,” said the former WWE Champion. “Cena picks you up, it’s like you’re standing on concrete.”
“I’ve never seen a guy so composed, so strong, and when you’re on his shoulders, you’re not going anywhere. He’s literally like a machine.”
Lesnar and Cena’s meeting at Wrestlepalooza will be the pair’s seventh meeting inside a WWE ring, with their first coming back in 2002.
