Backstage Updates on Brock Lesnar’s WWE Return
Brock Lesnar’s surprise return at WWE SummerSlam has sparked intense speculation among fans, particularly regarding his status in the Janel Grant lawsuit. While some reports suggest that WWE’s legal team cleared Lesnar, it’s essential to understand that this clearance does not necessarily imply he was absolved of any wrongdoing. Lesnar is indeed named in the lawsuit, but not currently listed as a defendant.
Brock Lesnar’s Legal Situation
According to sources close to the situation, WWE’s legal department did sign off on Lesnar’s return in recent weeks. However, Grant’s legal team reportedly expects that more details involving Lesnar could come to light as the discovery process moves forward.
Internally, there have been questions about WWE’s handling of the Lesnar situation dating back to last year. Around WrestleMania 39 in 2024, one reporter was under the impression Lesnar would be brought back at the event. However, a WWE higher-up was said to have flat-out denied that possibility, stating it was not happening ‘any time soon.’ Lesnar would go on to be absent from WWE TV for the next 16 months.
Throughout 2024, WWE sources consistently maintained that Lesnar was not returning. One employee noted that there was even an internal directive to exclude him from all video packages and promotional materials which is a stance that was reportedly only shared with one other name at the time: Vince McMahon.
Final Thoughts
Clearly, the company’s posture regarding Lesnar reportedly began to ease up in recent weeks, ultimately leading to his return to close out the second and final night of WWE SummerSlam.
