Nick Khan: WWE is ‘honored’ to have Brock Lesnar back
WWE President Nick Khan is more than happy to have Brock Lesnar back in the fold.
Lesnar returned to WWE this summer, ending a two-year absence from the ring. His return at SummerSlam 2025 marked Lesnar’s first time back with WWE since his name was mentioned in the lawsuit that former WWE employee Janel Grant filed against Vince McMahon and the company. Lesnar is not a defendant in the suit, and it was reported that WWE legal gave the okay for his return.
While appearing on The Daniel Cormier Show, Khan praised how easy Lesnar is to work with. He said WWE is “honored” to have Lesnar back.
“As you know… when he walks into a room he looks, and usually is, the baddest dude on the planet. And that’s what he looks like and that’s his personification,” Khan said. “By the way, he’s a gem to work with — easy. So, as long as he sort of knows things in advance, there’s no issues. We’re honored to have him back. I’m happy he’s here.”
Lesnar has worked two matches since his return, defeating John Cena at Wrestlepalooza and then taking part in WarGames at Survivor Series last weekend. The WarGames match saw Lesnar, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Logan Paul & Drew McIntyre defeat CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns & The Usos.
In his return, Lesnar has signed a new contract with WWE. His future dates include being advertised for WrestleMania 42.
Grant’s lawsuit against McMahon and WWE remains ongoing. It accuses McMahon of physical and emotional abuse, sexual assault, and sex trafficking.
