Since Brock Lesnar has been absent from WWE, fans are eagerly waiting for him to return and wreak havoc once again. Amidst the rumors, there is one condition under which The Beast Incarnate would return, and according to the latest update, that condition has been revealed.

According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the doors for Brock Lesnar to come back aren’t closed yet. He revealed that for Lesnar to make a comeback in WWE, the company’s legal team had to clear him first. However, unfortunately, that hasn’t happened yet, as per the veteran journalist.

The former WWE Champion last wrestled at SummerSlam against Cody Rhodes in 2023, which he lost. After a long hiatus, he was supposed to return at the Royal Rumble, but this plan was derailed by the shocking lawsuit filed by Janel Grant against Vince McMahon. This led to plans being changed at the last minute, with WWE later scrapping any plans for the veteran. Furthermore, Lesnar was excluded from the roster of the WWE 2K24 video game.

Fans did get a glimmer of hope when WWE lifted the ban on mentioning his name after Paul Heyman referenced him in his Hall of Fame speech. In conclusion, unless and until the promotion’s legal team clears Lesnar’s name, he won’t be returning anytime soon.

While speaking on Niko Exxtra, Riddle talked about the Elimination Chamber match that happened in 2022. Based on what he revealed, he wasn’t too thrilled about Lesnar. Riddle stated that the former Universal Champion often used to change planned spots and said he wasn’t cool.

Elimination Chamber we were supposed to do a whole bunch, but he just punched the chamber door open and now what are you even going to do because he's supposed to win. He's not the coolest dude.
