Triple H has finally addressed the status of Brock Lesnar in WWE.
The WWE boss was speaking after his first WrestleMania in charge of the company, moments after The Rock and Roman Reigns defeated Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in the main event of night one.
Lesnar had been one of the biggest starts in the promotion for a number of years, but that was plunged into disregard when he was linked to former WWE boss Vince McMahon’s sex trafficking lawsuit.
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 WWE status in the post-night one ‘Mania press conference, and refused to rule out a return for ‘The Beast’.

‘At one point there was a conversation with Brock about Royal Rumble,’ he said. ‘Quite a long time ago.
‘Right now Brock is at home being Brock. We will see where that leads to from here. His status is the same as it has been before. Brock is not gone from WWE. He is just home being Brock.’
The issues with Lesnar arose after former WWE employee Janel Grant filed a lawsuit against McMahon, the WWE and another executive.
She said she suffered bruising and bleeding after McMahon forcefully penetrated her with sex toys, which he had allegedly named after his wrestlers. McMahon has denied all allegations.
Though Lesnar was not named in the lawsuit, Grant claimed that in July 2021 the WWE founder told her to create sexual content for a wrestler that had previously fought in the UFC that the company were attempting to resign.
According to the suit, McMahon is said to have arranged a meeting between Grant and the wrestler, with a sexual encounter between the pair ultimately not taking place as the wrestler was escorted back to their plane intoxicated.
McMahon is also said to have given Grant’s phone number to the wrestler, who then requested that she send them a video of herself urinating. The suit claims that after she did, he called her a ‘b****’.
In their 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 following a four-month feud.

It appeared he would not be seen again, with the company seemingly doing their best to erase him from history and not use him going forward.
Triple H, however, has given the clearest indication yet that Lesnar is not done with the promotion, with fans left curious over his future after he was removed from the roster list in the company and then re-added.
While McMahon had posted a video earlier this year claiming he would ‘vigourously deny’ the allegations when resigning as TKO, Lesnar is not thought to have responded to requests for comment.
