Contrary to previous reports of WWE actively pursuing the return of Brock Lesnar to the ring, a recent update suggests a different narrative.
The latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, penned by Dave Meltzer, revealed a potential shift in WWE‘s stance regarding Brock Lesnar‘s position within the company following the Vince McMahon sex trafficking allegations. Meltzer’s report indicated that there may have been a re-evaluation of the situation behind the scenes, hinting at a less rigid approach to Lesnar’s status. It was further noted that plans involving Lesnar, such as a slated Intercontinental Championship match against Gunther at WrestleMania following a Royal Rumble comeback, were sidelined when the lawsuit implicating Lesnar became public.
There was something behind the scenes this week that was done, the details of which were told to us off the record, that indicated a less hard line about Lesnar, whose plans, which included an IC title match with Gunther at WrestleMania after a Royal Rumble return, were dropped when the lawsuit went public.
Despite initial speculation about WWE’s efforts to reintegrate Lesnar as an active performer, a company source refuted such claims, asserting that there is currently no active movement to bring Lesnar back to the ring. This revelation contradicts earlier indications of a potential return for Lesnar.
However, one company source said that there was no movement at all right now to bring Lesnar back as a performer.
