WWE Has Been Warned Following Brock Lesnar's Return

At SummerSlam 2025, Brock Lesnar sent the WWE Universe in shock after he showed up following the main event. Lesnar's return to the company was a massive surprise, given his name being mentioned in the Janel Grant lawsuit filed against Vince McMahon and the promotion.

Lesnar, who was last seen in WWE at SummerSlam 2023, made his surprise return at The Biggest Party of the Summer this past Sunday in New Jersey and attacked John Cena. The wrestling world has been divided over this, with some criticizing the company's decision to bring him back while others are happy seeing The Beast Incarnate back in action.

Now, a spokesperson for former WWE employee, Janel Grant, has given a statement to USA Today after Lesnar's return and warned WWE of consequences.

"For far too long, abuse was allowed to thrive under WWE's leadership. Instead of righting this wrong, WWE has done nothing to ensure those responsible are held accountable. This attempt to sweep misconduct under the rug will backfire. We look forward to the full set of facts, including those about Mr. Lesnar, coming out in a court of law where they belong," the spokesperson said. [H/T: USA Today]

The lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE was filed in January 2024 and accuses McMahon of forcing Grant into sexual acts. The lawsuit alleged that Vince used her as an incentive for a WWE star to re-sign with the company.

The suit didn't name Brock Lesnar, but in February last year, Grant officially identified Lesnar in the amended complaint.

WWE's legal team cleared Brock Lesnar for return

During the broadcast of Monday Night RAW, Michael Cole mentioned that he reached out to Nick Khan and Triple H regarding Brock Lesnar's return.

Cole revealed that they reached out to him a few weeks ago, believing it's time for him to "come home."

Due to being named in the Janel Grant lawsuit, Lesnar's return was a big surprise. However, according to a report from F4WOnline.com, WWE's legal department cleared Brock Lesnar to return four weeks ago.

While debate and controversy surround Lesnar's WWE return, for the time being, it seems he is here to stay.

About the author

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
