SUMMARY
- Brock Lesnar faced a huge setback in January 2024, as he was named in the s*x trafficking lawsuit by Janel Grant.
- Due to the seriousness of the allegations against The Beast, WWE did a lot of things to distance itself from the former Universal Champion.
Brock Lesnar is without any doubt one of the greatest names in the history of pro wrestling. But since late January 2024, The Beast has been in the limelight due to a controversy. The former WWE Champion was named in Janel Grant’s lawsuit against Vince McMahon, and his life hasn’t been the same after it.
Amid the seriousness of the accusations against Lesnar, the Triple H-led promotion straight away cancelled all creative plans for the veteran. In fact, Brock was also removed from the cover of WWE’s 2K24 video game trailer. Due to this, a lot of people started wondered if the company is going to erase the legendary in-ring star from their history.
A variety of opinions about the company’s viewpoint on this matter have been circulating since the lawsuit was filed. But a recent development has made fans believe that legal issues surrounding the 46-year-old pro wrestler might have been resolved by the organization.

The reason why fans have been feeling that this might be the case is that WWE has restored Lesnar’s profile on the active roster page of their website. Due to this move by the promotion, the audience feels that Brock’s on-screen return to the company might also be a real possibility in the near future.

Sharing how The Beast‘s return might be around the corner, a pro wrestling enthusiast commented, “Hope he comes back! it ain’t the same without him.” “Bro may have just saved the legacy,” another user on X said while mentioning how this move has probably saved Brock’s legacy.
Will Brock Lesnar ever return to in-ring action in the WWE?
A major part of the fans are happy that the issues between WWE and Brock are probably getting resolved. But the other half of the audience is wondering if The Beast can ever make a return to in-ring action in the Triple H-led promotion.
In this regard, it must be noted that previous reports have claimed that Lesnar is no longer in the company’s creative plans. This indeed meant that the Stamford-based promotion had possibly thought about moving on from the former UFC star’s association with their company.
Janel Grant, one of the women in Vince McMahon’s NDA scandal, was instructed to take sexual photos and videos for Brock Lesnar in an attempt to get him to re-sign with the WWE. Vince McMahon told her that “F*cking [Brock]” was part of the deal.

But the organization has now moved the 46-year-old superstar back to the active worker rosters on their website. This move has given fans hope that the 6-foot-3 might soon make a grand comeback to the industry as an in-ring performer. However, it remains to be seen if it really becomes a reality or not. If it does, the WWE Universe is surely going to welcome Brock with open arms.
