Brock Lesnar is one of the most decorated names in the world of combat sports. However, The Beast has been absent from the WWE spotlight for a long time now. This happened after he was rumored to be named in the ongoing Vince McMahon-Janel Grant sex trafficking and sexual misconduct lawsuit.

Due to the public relations concerns, WWE has sidelined the company legend as the legal process plays out. This week, we got a huge update on his current status and if there is any chance he can return to the company in the coming months.
Will Brock Lesnar return to WWE soon?
According to Steve Carrier of Ringside News, Brock Lesnar will not return to WWE until the legal situation is over. The report also added that both legal sides are refusing to back down in the case and are willing to fight till the end.
Janel Grant accused Vince McMahon and former WWE EVP John Laurinitis of sexual misconduct in a 2023 lawsuit. This led to McMahon’s official exit from TKO. Brock Lesnar has been off WWE television programming since the summer of 2023 after losing a trilogy match to Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam.
According to the lawsuit, Grant was forced to send explicit content to Lesnar. This happened at the same time as when WWE was trying to re-sign Brock Lesnar in 2021. A meeting was also reportedly planned between the duo, but it did not happen due to the weather conditions. While Brock’s name is involved in the lawsuit, Janel Grant has not accused him directly of any wrongdoing.
