Following the problematic allegations made about him in Janel Grant’s lawsuit against WWE, Vince McMahon, and John Laurinaitis, the company quickly distanced itself from Brock Lesnar. They did this by canceling his participation in the men’s Royal Rumble match, making him unplayable in their latest video game, and slashing the price of most of his merchandise on WWEShop.com.
However, after Paul Heyman name-dropped the former UFC star during his WWE Hall of Fame induction, fans have been wondering if there has been an update on his status. And now, during the post-WrestleMania night one press conference, Triple H has confirmed that while he is currently “home being Brock,” he is still part of WWE.
“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.”
Triple HHad 46-year-old Lesnar not been implicated in Grant’s lawsuit, it is believed he would have wrestled Gunther at WrestleMania 40, which, to many fans, would have been a dream match. Still, WWE would handle this by booking Sami Zayn to challenge Gunther instead, and that currently looks to have been the right decision, as based on early feedback, their match was the highlight of Saturday night’s event.
