WWE’s SummerSlam 2025 delivered a jaw-dropping moment that sent fans into frenzy—Brock Lesnar’s return to the ring after a two-year absence. The “Beast Incarnate” made his comeback by unleashing a thunderous F-5 on John Cena, immediately reigniting one of the industry’s most iconic rivalries.
Here’s the thing: despite his name appearing multiple times in the high-profile lawsuit filed by former WWE employee Janel Grant, Lesnar was never named as a defendant and has not been charged with any crime. His involvement is purely contextual—he was referenced in the legal filing—but legally, he remains on the safe side. In fact, WWE’s legal team cleared him for his return several weeks ago.
From a business standpoint, WWE likely made this decision based on concrete legal clarity—not just moral posturing. As reported, Lesnar stayed under contract, continued to be paid, and was not suspended—he simply remained off TV for legal reasons.
And let’s face it—when Lesnar’s theme hits, the crowd erupts. His return generated over 75 million views on social media within 12 hours, proving that the fans still crave “The Beast”.
In short:
- Lesnar has not committed any proven crime nor faced charges.
- He was legally cleared and WWE resumed his storyline.
- Fans rallied behind his return in a major way.
WWE’s decision may raise questions about optics and ethics—but from a legal and entertainment standpoint, Lesnar absolutely deserves that comeback spotlight.
