The WWE universe was doing a ton of speculation about Brock Lesnar’s future with the company, particularly given his extended absence from television since his match against Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam last year. Lesnar’s strong connection to Vince McMahon has only fueled the anticipation among fans, who eagerly await news about his return. However, recent developments provide some clarity on Lesnar’s status and suggest a more complex situation.
Lesnar was initially scheduled to participate in the Royal Rumble event, but his plans were derailed due to legal complications arising from Vince McMahon’s trafficking lawsuit. This legal issue not only kept Lesnar off WWE broadcasts but also affected his standing within the company in several significant ways. One of the most notable setbacks was his exclusion from the roster of the latest WWE video game, WWE 2K24, a decision that signaled his diminished role in the company’s future plans. On top of that, he was removed from WWE Creative’s storyline projections, further casting doubt on his return.
Despite these obstacles, fans continue to speculate about Lesnar’s potential comeback. The persistent rumors and discussions highlight the significant impact Lesnar has had on WWE and the enduring interest in his career.
To gain more insight into his status, Ringside News reached out to a member of the WWE writing team. The response was not encouraging for those hoping for a quick return; it was revealed that there have been no indications of Lesnar being “on his way back” anytime soon. This statement suggests that, at least for the foreseeable future, Lesnar’s involvement with WWE remains uncertain.
