We’re honored to have him back: WWE President comments on Brock Lesnar's controversial return

Lesnar made his return after two years of absence.

‘The Beast Incarnate’ Brock Lesnar made his highly unexpected return after the main event of night two of SummerSlam 2025 PLE and attacked John Cena. This led to a match between the two at Wrestlepalooza, where Lesnar, with ease, defeated Cena to announce his return to the roster after two years.

The Beast Incarnate recently made his return on the November 17 episode of Raw and joined Team Vision for the men’s WarGames match, which took place in San Diego on November 29. Lesnar and Co. emerged victorious in the clash against the babyface team, which consisted of Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Cody Rhodes, among others.

Lesnar works a part-time schedule and will likely make his next appearance at the Royal Rumble PLE in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Anyhow, in a recent conversation with former UFC double Champion Daniel Cormier, WWE President Nick Khan commented on Lesnar’s return and heaped praises on the former UFC and WWE Champion.

WWE has not addressed the controversy surrounding Brock Lesnar’s return

In his conversation with Daniel Cormier, Khan highlighted Brock Lesnar’s professionalism and strong presence, noting that he’s one of the simplest top talents to work with, provided he’s kept informed.

“As you know — and I’m not saying he’s in the UFC every day — but when he walks into a room, he looks and usually is the baddest dude on the planet.

And that’s what he looks like, and that’s his personification. By the way, he’s a gem to work with. Easy. As long as he knows things in advance, there are no issues. We’re honored to have him back. I’m happy he’s here, and I hope you enjoyed the WarGames match he was in.”

Despite being named in Janel Grant’s active sex-trafficking suit involving Vince McMahon, Lesnar made his return to WWE. While Lesnar isn’t named as a defendant, the lawsuit claims that McMahon used Grant as a “s*xual pawn” during contract discussions with Lesnar.

After his return, Grant’s spokesperson released a sharply worded statement. The company has not issued any public statement regarding his mention in the lawsuit.

Regardless of the controversy, Brock Lesnar remains one of the biggest names in sports entertainment, and his appearances create massive buzz among the fandom. Fans should expect some big matches involving Lesnar in 2026.
