Triple H on Brock Lesnar’s WWE status: ‘It’s the same as it’s been before’
Triple H has given an update on Brock Lesnar’s status in WWE.
During Saturday’s WrestleMania 40 press conference, Brandon Thurston asked Triple H about Lesnar’s status with the company. Triple H replied that nothing had changed.
“At one point, there was a conversation with Brock about Royal Rumble quite a long time ago,” he said. “Right now, Brock is home being Brock. And we’ll see where that leads to from here. His status is the same as it’s been before. Brock is not gone from WWE, he’s just home being Brock.”

Lesnar was originally slated to return at the Royal Rumble. However, just days before the event, former WWE employee Janel Grant filed a lawsuit against Vince McMahon accusing him of sexual trafficking and rape, with Lesnar being mentioned in the lawsuit. Plans for Lesnar’s return were then scrapped, with Bron Breakker taking his place in the Royal Rumble match according to Dave Meltzer. He was later removed from WWE 2K24 as a playable character and the WWE Supercard mobile game.
