Since his absence following SummerSlam 2023, the status of Brock Lesnar in WWE has remained uncertain. Recent developments, however, suggest that the wrestling giant is exploring the possibility of re-signing the former World Champion.
Initially expected to make his comeback at the Royal Rumble Premium Live Event earlier this year, Lesnar’s purported involvement in Janel Grant’s lawsuit against Vince McMahon compelled WWE to distance itself from any immediate return plans.
According to Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer, there have been recent indications of WWE actively pursuing Brock Lesnar’s return. Alvarez commented,
“In the last few days, there have been moves regarding Brock Lesnar…It seems like a bad idea to me. Put it that way.”

Known for his immense drawing power, Lesnar’s potential return could significantly impact WWE’s programming. Despite his absence, Lesnar remains an active talent within the company, capable of resurfacing at any moment.
Originally slated to face Gunther at WrestleMania XL, Lesnar’s absence prompted WWE to adjust its plans. Reports indicated that Lesnar was set to clash with Dominik Mysterio at Elimination Chamber before the WrestleMania showdown.
While the recent inquiries regarding Lesnar’s return raise speculation, it remains uncertain whether he will make a comeback.
However, with Sami Zayn now slated to challenge Gunther at WrestleMania XL, Lesnar’s return would necessitate a different storyline direction.
Amidst these developments, the ongoing legal turmoil within WWE, notably the allegations raised by the TKO Group, adds another layer of complexity.
The resignation of Vince McMahon earlier this year underscores the gravity of the situation. As the allegations persist, the decision regarding Lesnar’s potential return will likely be closely monitored, given the prevailing climate dominating wrestling headlines.
