In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, Triple H hinted at a potential return for Brock Lesnar to WWE, despite the former champion’s extended absence and ongoing legal controversies. Lesnar, who hasn’t appeared on WWE television since his loss to Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam 2023, was notably absent from the Royal Rumble, a planned return that was scrapped following the filing of a lawsuit involving him.
The lawsuit, filed in January by former WWE employee Janel Grant, includes serious allegations of sexual assault and sex trafficking against Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis, and WWE. Although Brock Lesnar was not named directly, he was implicated as the “former UFC Champion and WWE Superstar” referenced in the filing. The gravity of these allegations led to the removal of Lesnar from WWE’s creative plans.
Despite these complications, Triple H’s recent remarks suggest that WWE remains open to the possibility of Lesnar’s return. “You’d have to ask Brock Lesnar that. Brock does his own thing. He’s up in Canada I’m sure, watching his kids play hockey and enjoying life. If and when he decides that he would like to do something, we’d be open to the conversation. But, we’ll see,” Triple H stated.
Triple H’s comments reflect WWE’s ongoing willingness to engage with Lesnar should he choose to rejoin the company, despite the current legal and public relations challenges.
In related news, Triple H and WWE President Nick Khan recently traveled to London for discussions with Mayor Sadiq Khan about potentially bringing WrestleMania to the English capital. The Mayor of London expressed a strong desire to host the iconic event, and the discussions were described as “productive.” This move aligns with WWE’s broader strategy to expand its global reach and bring major events to new international markets.
Triple H’s dual focus on both potential talent returns and high-profile event planning underscores WWE’s dynamic approach to maintaining its prominence in the world of sports entertainment. As the landscape of WWE continues to evolve, both the return of stars like Brock Lesnar and the expansion into new markets will be key areas to watch.
