Triple H has recently cleared the uncertainty surrounding Brock Lesnar’s future in WWE. The superstar wrestler, recognized as one of the most formidable combat sports athletes globally, has been absent from the ring since his last encounter with Cody Rhodes, a feud he lost at SummerSlam in 2023.
His absence has been linked to the lawsuit filed by Janel Grant against Vince McMahon. However, the WWE executive has addressed Lesnar’s hiatus and reaffirmed that the former Heavyweight Champion remains a significant presence in the wrestling scene.
Triple H Reaffirms Brock Lesnar’s Future in WWE
During the Night 1 post-WrestleMania press conference, Triple H was asked about Brock Lesnar’s status in wrestling. The WWE executive shared some intriguing details surrounding Lesnar, who has been embroiled in Janel Grant’s lawsuit against Vince McMahon for the past few months.
He revealed that there had been discussions about Lesnar potentially making a Royal Rumble appearance. As of now, he is at his home “being Brock,” and they are anticipating his future. However, he also ensured that the 49-year-old WWE star is not gone and continues to be a part of the realm of wrestling.
“At one point, there was a conversation with Brock about Royal Rumble, quite a long time ago. Right now Brock is home, being Brock—His status is the same as it has been before. Brock is not gone from WWE.”
He also expressed openness to Lesnar returning and indicated that they would evaluate the situation accordingly. “And we’ll see where that leads to… from here,” he said during the press conference, suggesting that Lesnar’s status within WWE remains the same as before.
The statement comes amid the allegations made against a “WWE Superstar” in Grant’s lawsuit, whom the Wall Street Journal has identified as Lasner. The lawsuit alleged that Janel Grant was asked to send explicit photos and videos of herself to the former UFC champion.
Brock Lesnar Not Named in Paul Heyman’s Hall of Fame Video
Since allegations emerged about Brock Lesnar, WWE has shown signs of distancing from him. Earlier reports stated that Lesnar’s merchandise was removed from WWE’s Euro Shop due to alleged involvement in s*x trafficking allegations against Vince McMahon.
The latest instance occurred during Paul Heyman’s Hall of Fame video package at the 2024 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. Notably, The Beast Incarnate was not included in the package, surprising many given Heyman’s significant influence on Lesnar’s career.
This omission suggests WWE’s reluctance to feature Lesnar on-screen until the lawsuit against Vince McMahon is resolved. And The Game seemingly suggested the same, mentioning they would “see where that leads to… from here.” However, he refrained from directly addressing the lawsuit or Lesnar’s alleged involvement in the allegations.
