Triple H addresses Brock Lesnar’s WWE return on ESPN

During his appearance on ESPN this morning to discuss WWE’s new partnership with the network, Paul “Triple H” Levesque addressed Brock Lesnar’s return to WWE.

Lesnar reemerged from a two-year absence at SummerSlam this past weekend, appearing for the first time since his name was mentioned in Janel Grant’s lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE. The suit alleges that McMahon sent Lesnar explicit images and videos of Grant and offered Lesnar sex with Grant as an incentive of him signing a new contract with WWE.

ESPN’s Get Up asked Levesque what’s next for Lesnar following his return.

“Have you met Brock? Whatever the hell he wants,” Levesque responded. “When you’re Brock Lesnar, you sort of can — when that music hits and you walk down that aisle, doesn’t matter where he is, he sort of does what he wants to do. So we’re thrilled to have The Beast back. You know, we hit him up and said, ‘Time to come home.’ And he was into it, and here we are. A massive, massive moment for our WWE fans, something that they thought they wouldn’t get to see. And making a statement with John Cena. You know, huge — and we’re thrilled to have him back.”

There was no further discussion of Lesnar’s status past that.

Lesnar attacked Cena at the end of SummerSlam night two after Cena lost the WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes in the main event. WWE will follow up on the angle with Cena appearing live on SmackDown this Friday night.

Levesque’s appearance on Get Up came after it was announced that WWE PLEs will be moving away from Peacock in 2026 — when they will begin airing on ESPN’s new streaming service.
