In recent days, the mentions of Brock Lesnar during WWE programming have increased, most notably by Kevin Owens on the latest episode of SmackDown. These mentions have fueled speculation about the potential return of the Beast to the company. Earlier, he was believed to be banned due to his alleged involvement in Vince McMahon’s sexual abuse allegations lawsuit. However, according to the latest reports, WWE is easing the restrictions and raising hopes for Lesnar’s return.
WWE remains cautious with Lesnar

Now the fans are eager to see Lesnar back in the WWE ring. However, they may need to temper their expectations for some time. According to a recent report, Lesnar’s return is not imminent. WWE has maintained its distance from Brock due to the sex trafficking lawsuit filed against Vince and the former WWE champion.
Because of these legal issues, WWE has removed Lesnar from their plans, including big matches at the Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania 40. This has definitely left a void in WWE’s list of performers, as “The Conqueror” has been a major attraction for them in the past few years. A recent report suggested that Brock has not yet been cleared by WWE’s legal team. This legal clearance is an important step before Lesnar can return to the company.
Fans may have to wait longer
The legal lawsuit has caused many delays that continues to be an obstacle in Lesnar’s way. Until he gets the green signal from the legal team, Lesnar’s return will remain on hold. With the Justice Department telling Janel Grant to put her lawsuit on hold while they conduct their investigation, the delay could be even longer in Lesnar’s return. Till then, the Stamford-based promotion has to run the major events with the presence of one of their most popular superstars. In recent times, we can also see WWE working on establishing new stars and focusing on many storylines to keep things exciting for the WWE Universe.
