WWE chief Triple H FINALLY provides an update on Brock Lesnar’s status in the company after ‘The Beast’ was linked to Vince McMahon’s sex trafficking trial.
Triple H has finally addressed Brock Lesnar’s status in WWE.
The WWE boss was speaking after his first WrestleMania as head of the company, moments after The Rock and Roman Reigns defeated Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in the first night’s main event.
Lesnar had been one of the promotion’s biggest departures for several years, but that was plunged into contempt when he was linked to former WWE boss Vince McMahon’s sex trafficking trial.
He has not been seen on WWE programming since, with plans for him to face Dominik Mysterio and then Gunther scrapped in the run-up to WrestleMania.
Triple H, however, was asked about Lesnar’s status in WWE during the ‘Mania’ post-party press conference, and refused to rule out a return for ‘The Beast’.

Wrestler Lesnar has been identified as being involved in Vince McMahon’s sex trafficking trial.
WWE chief Triple H refused to rule out a future Lesnar return when addressing his situation.
“At one point there was a conversation with Brock about the Royal Rumble,” he said. “Quite a long time ago.
“Right now, Brock is at home as Brock. We’ll see where it goes from here. His status is the same as before. Brock hasn’t left WWE. He’s right at home as Brock.
The problems with Lesnar arose after former WWE employee Janel Grant filed a lawsuit against McMahon, WWE and another executive.
She said she suffered bruising and bleeding after McMahon forcibly penetrated her with sex toys, which he allegedly named after his wrestlers. McMahon has denied all allegations.
Although Lesnar was not named in the lawsuit, Grant claimed that in July 2021, the WWE founder asked him to create sexual content for a wrestler who had previously fought in the UFC and that the company tried to resign.
According to the suit, McMahon allegedly arranged a meeting between Grant and the wrestler, with the sexual encounter between the two ultimately not taking place because the wrestler was driven back to their plane while intoxicated.
McMahon also allegedly gave Grant’s phone number to the wrestler, who then asked him to send them a video of herself urinating. The suit claims that after she did so, he called her a “slut.”
In its report on the allegations, The Wall Street Journal identified Lesnar as the wrestler in question.
He was last seen on WWE programming when he lost to Rhodes at SummerSlam in August after a four-month feud.

Triple H said Lesnar “is at home as Brock” after conversations about a Royal Rumble appearance “quite a long time ago.”
It seemed like he wouldn’t be seen again, with the company apparently doing their best to erase him from history and not use him in the future.
Triple H, however, gave the clearest indication yet that Lesnar is not done with the promotion, with fans left curious about his future after he was removed from the company’s roster, then added again.
