Brock Lesnar's WWE Status Revived: Former UFC Champion Back on Roster Page

Originally posted on SE Scoops | By Aaron Varble | Last updated 3/9/24

WWE is well on the road to WrestleMania, and we haven't heard a peep from Brock Lesnar. His name was scrubbed from WWE programming after his controversial involvement in a lawsuit against Vince McMahon, but now it appears that Lesnar may be getting closer to a return.

There was a belief within WWE that Brock Lesnar is 100% done with the company. Now, it appears that there may be some light at the end of the tunnel, because the Beast Incarnate popped up on the company's official roster once again.

Lesnar's Current Status

WWE's official website updated their roster today, and Brock Lesnar's name is back on the list. He was removed from the list and placed on the alumni page before. Now, he is on the current roster once again.

The company took efforts to erase Brock Lesnar from history after his name was attached to Janel Grant's lawsuit. He was also removed from WWE 2K24 as a playable character, although his model and data are still in the game files.

Brock Lesnar's Scrapped Plans

At this time, Brock Lesnar is not booked for WrestleMania 40. He was previously booked to take on GUNTHER for the IC Title. That match was reportedly nixed after the controversy surrounding that lawsuit came up.

Brock Lesnar was removed from the 2024 Royal Rumble match as well. He was replaced by Bron Breakker during that match, and the former NXT Champion got Lesnar's spots. Also, the Beast Incarnate was supposed to take on Dominik Mysterio at the Elimination Chamber premium live event, but that match didn't happen.

We will have to see if this means Brock is closer to making a return to WWE. The fact that he appeared on their official roster once again is certainly a better sign for his return than we had a couple of days ago.
