Brock Lesnar is out of action since a long time and considering his popularity fans are wondering when will he return. Paul Heyman who has been the manager of Brock Lesnar recently made a return to WWE bringing fifth member of Roman Reign's team. During a recent appearance on the SHAK Wrestling podcast, Paul Heyman was asked if he had spoken to Brock Lesnar about a potential return to WWE. Heyman, however, was quick to decline responding to the question, emphasizing that he would not violate Lesnar’s privacy by revealing whether such discussions had taken place.
Respecting Brock Lesnar’s Privacy
Heyman explained, “It’s funny, when people ask me about that, and it’s the same answer I would have given in 2002 or 2009 when he was the UFC Heavyweight Champion and people would see me in the background of his training camps or fights. When it comes to Brock Lesnar, Brock Lesnar doesn’t like to be discussed about anything about his life that is off-camera. If I do speak to Brock Lesnar, he would want that to be private. If I don’t speak with Brock Lesnar, he would want that to be private. Number one, I would never want to violate his wish of privacy. Number two, I would fear for a human being that would want to violate the feeling of privacy that would be desired by Brock Lesnar.
The Balance of Love and Fear
Heyman made it clear that his deep respect and admiration for Lesnar, coupled with a healthy dose of fear, prevent him from discussing any private matters regarding the WWE star.
He further stated, “Based on both love and appreciation for the man, and a healthy dose of absolute fear of the man, I will neither confirm nor deny my knowledge of even the existence of a species on this planet that carries the name Brock Lesnar.” He added, “I don’t really put any thought into that at this time because it’s not a subject that is going to resolve itself by Survivor Series or by the end of the year, therefore it is not on the radar of things to address.”
Triple H's Comments on Brock Lesnar’s Status
Earlier this year, Triple H (Paul “Triple H” Levesque) also addressed Lesnar’s current status with WWE. In a July interview, Triple H was asked about Lesnar's future in the company. He responded, “You’d have to ask Brock Lesnar that. Brock does his own thing. He’s up in Canada I’m sure, watching his kids play hockey and enjoying life. If and when he decides that he would like to do something, we’d be open to the conversation. But, we’ll see.”
Brock Lesnar's Previously Reported Return Plans
Before the lawsuit filed in January, reports indicated that Brock Lesnar was scheduled to make his return at the Royal Rumble. The plan was for him to be eliminated by Dominik Mysterio, setting up a match between the two at Elimination Chamber. Following that, Lesnar was reportedly lined up to face Gunther at WrestleMania 40.
Despite all the speculation, it seems that the situation surrounding Lesnar’s return remains uncertain, with both Heyman and Triple H leaving the door open for future discussions, but without any firm plans at this time.
