Former WWE star makes surprising comments about Brock Lesnar's potential return

A former WWE Superstar made surprising comments about Brock Lesnar's potential return to the company. The legend hasn't been seen since his loss to Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam 2023.

Speaking with Kenny McIntosh of Inside the Ropes, Eugene discussed Lesnar's potential return and suggested that his controversy would eventually blow over. The Beast Incarnate was referenced during Janel Grant's legal battle with former WWE CEO Vince McMahon.

"I think it depends if anything else comes out. If that is all that comes out and that’s all that happened, then I don’t think so. I think it might—it could probably be forgotten, much like, uh, I hate to say, Hulkster had a little incident in the past that I think after time people just might remember but kind of not—not ostracize him for it," he said.

Eugene noted that if anything else came out about Lesnar, then the situation could get messy for the former champion.

"And I think if—if what Brock’s done, which I don’t think the text message or whatever it was was that horrible, but if there’s anything more, then it might get dirty, might get messy," he added. [H/T: Ringside News]

Vince Russo explains why WWE doesn't need Brock Lesnar

Former WWE writer Vince Russo recently explained why the company no longer needed Brock Lesnar on the roster.

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Writing with Russo show, the veteran noted that the company is very profitable without the 47-year-old. Russo added that the promotion may not feel that they need to pay Brock Lesnar's high salary while they are having a ton of success.

"If business, and I'm talking dollars and cents, is the same in 2025 as it was in 2024, Chris, they don't need him," Russo said. "It's that simple. And why are they gonna pay him the type of money that he's asking for if they don't need him? If things fall off the deep end, that's a completely different story, but if they continue to print money the way they're printing money, there's no reason to pay him that kind of money."
