Can Brock Lesnar return to WWE now after Vince McMahon declared the “case is closed”?

The name of Brock Lesnar has once again become a topic of discussion among fans, as the WWE Universe is eager about the prospect of his return. Speculation about his comeback strengthened following a recent notification from Vince McMahon, who asserted that his case is now closed.

Soon after this, fans began predicting Lesnar’s return, assuming that the closure of the former WWE CEO’s case could pave the way for The Beast Incarnate’s comeback. However, it’s important to note that Brock’s status remains unchanged, as the lawsuit filed by Janel Grant is still pending before the courts. When Brock’s name was previously alluded to, it was in relation to this lawsuit.

The case that has been settled involves Vince McMahon’s dispute with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This means that the lawsuit seemingly involving Brock Lesnar is still ongoing. Despite Vince McMahon’s announcement about his case closure, the return of The Beast Incarnate remains uncertain.

The last time Brock wrestled in the Stamford-based promotion was at SummerSlam 2023, where he suffered a loss to Cody Rhodes. Since then, he has yet to make an appearance in World Wrestling Entertainment.

With Royal Rumble 2025 on the horizon, fans are optimistic that Brock Lesnar may return to WWE. However, it seems we might have to wait much longer to see the veteran once again in the squared circle.

What is the latest update on Brock Lesnar’s WWE status?

As WWE was heading toward the RAW Netflix debut show, the name of Brock Lesnar resurfaced, sparking hopes among fans that he might appear alongside major stars like John Cena, Roman Reigns, The Rock, and CM Punk.

However, Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Dr. Chris Featherstone confirmed that there are no discussions to bring Brock back to the Stamford-based promotion at this time. This clarification indicates that WWE currently has no plans to feature Lesnar or arrange his comeback. If the company were planning such a move, it would likely have taken place during the RAW Netflix debut show or seeds could be planted for his future comeback.

Earlier reports revealed that WWE would need to obtain permission from the legal department and receive clearance before planning The Beast Incarnate’s return. It seems there is no development or fixed timeline for the former Royal Rumble winner’s comeback.

Fans can only wait until the lawsuit concludes, as its outcome will play a crucial role in determining Brock Lesnar’s future in WWE.
