Details on Brock Lesnar’s WWE Contract Status During Two-Year Absence – Brock Lesnar remained under contract and among WWE’s highest-paid wrestlers during his recent two-year absence, according to a new report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Despite not appearing on television and the controversy surrounding his name being mentioned in the Janel Grant lawsuit, WWE reportedly continued to honor his lucrative deal in full.
Dave Meltzer noted in the latest edition of the newsletter that Lesnar was never suspended or released, which was a clear indication of WWE’s plans for him. “If what he did was going to end their relationship with him, he’d have been let go. That’s the reality,” Meltzer wrote. He added that Lesnar’s return was always expected once he was cleared from a legal standpoint.
According to the report, WWE’s legal team gave clearance for his comeback roughly one month before it happened. The decision was kept quiet to preserve the surprise factor for his return. That moment came at the close of last weekend’s SummerSlam premium live event, where Lesnar made a shocking appearance to attack John Cena in the show’s final moments.
The fallout from Lesnar’s return is expected to unfold on tonight’s episode of SmackDown, as fans await the next chapter in his storyline.
