‘The Beast’ is back.
While there were initial plans for his involvement at the 2024 Royal Rumble, Brock Lesnar remained absent from WWE after being explicitly named by Janel Grant in her lawsuit alleging that Vince McMahon sexually trafficked and assaulted her at WWE’s headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut. His two year absence from the promotion came to an end on August 3, 2025, at SummerSlam, where he returned to attack John Cena despite the Grant lawsuit still being active.
Speaking to UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier on The Daniel Cormier Show, WWE President Nick Khan said the company are honoured to have Lesnar involved once again.
“He’s a gem to work with. Easy. As long as he sort of knows things in advance, there’s no issues. We’re honored to have him back. I’m happy he’s here.”
-Nick Khan
Lesnar, once again aligned with Paul Heyman, teamed with Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, and Drew McIntyre at WWE’s Survivor Series: WarGames on November 29 to defeat Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, and The Usos.
As always, we’ll aim to provide any further updates on future plans for Brock Lesnar as soon as we hear more.
