Will Brock Lesnar ever return to the wrestling ring? Eric Bischoff has THIS to say

Trigger Warning: The article contains a brief mention of sexual assault.

Brock Lesnar was last seen in WWE at SummerSlam 2023. The Beast has not been seen at the company since. According to former WWE manager Eric Bishoff, Lesnar will never return to the squared circle.

And why is that so? According to Bishoff, Lesnar has no reason to return to the ring since he has accomplished almost everything in his wrestling career and has earned enough money to last three lifetimes. According to Bischoff, money would be the last motivating factor for Lesnar if he ever plans to get back in the ring.

“Brock is unique. Brock has enough money to live the next three lives. His children will never be able to spend the money Brock earned, and on top of that, Brock farms. That’s his joy, that’s his passion, that’s Brock’s peace based on what I’ve heard,” Wrestling Inc quoted Eric Bishoff as saying.

For the unversed, Brock Lesnar has been relatively absent from WWE programming, largely because his name appeared in the sex trafficking lawsuit filed against Vince McMahon by former WWE employee Janel Grant.

Grant didn't directly name Lesnar in the lawsuit, however, instead suggesting that Vince McMahon referred her to a WWE superstar who also happened to be a big name in the UFC. She said McMahon wanted to sign an excellent business deal with Lesnar and that he allegedly sent her to please him.

She had even claimed that Lesnar also asked her to send her a video of her urinating. According to the lawsuit, Lesnar had also planned a Playboy date with Janel Grant, but it could not take place due to the Covid-19 lockdown.

Because Lesnar's name was mentioned in the lawsuit, he was banned from future WWE television appearances. It was reported that Lesnar planned to return at Royal Rumble 2024, but was withdrawn from the show and Bron Breakker took his place.

Since then, WWE has not issued a statement regarding Brock Lesnar and it is expected that Lesnar will not return to WWE unless his name is removed from the lawsuit. Let's see when that happens.
