Brock Lesnar was implicated, but not outright named, in a lawsuit brought forth by Janel Grant against Vince McMahon and WWE in January. The lawsuit alleges that Vince McMahon used Ms. Grant in a sexual manner to keep "a world-famous athlete and former UFC Heavyweight Champion with whom WWE was actively trying to sign to a new contract." Aft⛄er the lawsuit became public, Lesnar was reportedly removed from creative plans and references to him were scaled back or removed from content.
He has been mentioned 🐈on WWE television and by Paul Heyman during his WWE Hall of Fame speech.
Speaking to , Heyman was asked if he's spoken with Lesn👍ar.
"It's funny, when people ask me about that, and it's the same answer I would have given in 2002 or 2009 when he was the UFC Heavyweight Champion and people would see me in the background of his training camps or fights. When it comes to Brock Lesnar, Brock Lesnar doesn't like to be discussed about anything about his life that is off-camera. If I do speak to Brock Lesnar, he would want that to be private. If I don't speak with Brock Lesnar, he would want that to be private. Number one, I would never want to violate his wish of privacy. Number two, I would fear for a human being that would want to violate the feeling of privacy that would be desired by Brock Lesnar. Based on both love and appreciation for the man, and a healthy dose of absolute fear of the man, I will neither confirm nor deny my knowledge of even the existence of a species on this planet that carries the name Brock Lesnar," he said.
Asked if he thinks Lesnar might return to WWE, Heyman replied, "I don't really put any thought into that at this time because it's not a subject that is going to resolve itself by Survivor Series or by the end of the year, therefore it is not on the radar of things to address."
It is unknown if or when Lesnar will return to🌸 WWE television.
