When Did WWE Legal Clear Brock Lesnar For His Return At SummerSlam? Revealed
Last Updated: Brock Lesnar returned to WWE at SummerSlam 2025 after a two-year hiatus due to legal issues, setting up a potential feud with John Cena during Cena's farewell tour. Brock Lesnar has made a spectacular return to WWE, ending his two-year hiatus in dramatic fashion at the conclusion of SummerSlam 2025. Known as 'The Beast Incarnate," Lesnar had been away from the ring due to his involvement in the Janel Grant–Vince McMahon lawsuit. Now that the legal matters are resolved, Lesnar is back in WWE storylines, sparking significant excitement. Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio reported that Lesnar was legally cleared to return by WWE about four weeks before his SummerSlam comeback. Meltzer stated, 'Four weeks ago, WWE Legal cleared him (Brock Lesnar)" and noted that WWE avoided press conferences to keep his return a secret. Lesnar's last WWE appearance was at SummerSlam 2023, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. Appropriately, he made his comeback just as Rhodes defeated John Cena in a brutal Street Fight to win the Undisputed WWE Championship on Night 2 of SummerSlam 2025. As Cena stood alone, Lesnar's entrance music played, stunning the crowd. He entered the ring and delivered a devastating F-5 to Cena, setting the stage for a high-profile feud. Triple H later revealed that Cena specifically requested to work with Lesnar during his farewell tour. A Lesnar vs. Cena showdown now seems likely to be his first major programme. However, Cena is not the only potential target. In January 2024, former WWE employee Janel Grant sued McMahon, alleging that the wrestling company's founder was involved in sex trafficking and subjected her to sexual acts characterised by 'extreme cruelty and degradation." The lawsuit also mentions Lesnar, alleging that McMahon offered Grant to him for sexual encounters. A spokesperson told USA TODAY Sports that Lesnar's return is an 'attempt to sweep misconduct under the rug." 'For far too long, abuse was allowed to thrive under WWE's leadership. Instead of addressing this issue, WWE has done nothing to hold those responsible accountable. This attempt to sweep misconduct under the rug will backfire," the spokesperson said. 'We look forward to the full set of facts, including those concerning Mr. Lesnar, being revealed in a court of law where they belong." view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
