Brock Lesnar Still Not Back in WWE for This Reason
Brock Lesnar remains absent from WWE programming due to his name being mentioned in the ongoing Janel Grant lawsuit against Vince McMahon, putting his return on indefinite hold.
Brock Lesnar’s return to WWE remains blocked due to his association with the ongoing Janel Grant lawsuit against Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis, and WWE.
Grant’s lawsuit mentions Lesnar by name, stating she was “ordered” to send sexually explicit content to him at McMahon’s request. According to the lawsuit, Lesnar demanded media of Grant urinating as part of contract negotiations, and a planned meeting between them never occurred due to weather issues.
Ringside News has confirmed that Lesnar will not appear on WWE television until the legal situation concludes. Both sides have indicated they plan to continue with the litigation process for the foreseeable future.
The situation resulted in WWE pulling Lesnar from a planned WrestleMania storyline with Gunther when his name appeared in the lawsuit. While Lesnar is not being sued directly by Grant, his involvement in the case prevents his return to the company.
WWE has not publicly commented on Lesnar’s status or potential future appearances with the organization.
Legal. They won’t bring him back until case is closed. I spoke with both lawyers from McMchon and Janel and either plan on backing down. https://t.co/VkKW7oqGV2
