WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H and his team recently delivered arguably one of the best SummerSlams ever. However, Brock Lesnar, who has featured in numerous editions of the mega event, was a notable absentee this year. Meanwhile, Konnan has discussed the potential return of the multi-time world champion.
The Beast Incarnate last appeared in World Wrestling Entertainment at last year's Biggest Party of the Summer, where he faced Cody Rhodes in a losing effort. Lesnar was rumored to be a part of WrestleMania XL in Philadelphia, but he did not appear on the show. This was reportedly due to the speculations surrounding former employee Janel Grant's lawsuit against Vince McMahon.
During an interview with Mail Sport, Triple H expressed openness to discussing Brock Lesnar's potential return. However, he added that the decision about the comeback rested solely with the 47-year-old.
On the Keepin' It 100 podcast, Konnan shared his two cents on The Game's comment on The Beast Incarnate's potential return. The former WCW star said WWE might be holding off on bringing Brock Lesnar back until the Janel Grant lawsuit was settled.

"Maybe they [WWE] are just waiting for this to either be [over], they either settle out of court or whatever. But maybe they're not going to use him till then because Brock [Lesnar] has always been professional while he was there, always gets over and he's a huge name," Konnan said. (From 1:18 to 1:33)

Wrestling veteran says WWE's Brock Lesnar could destroy UFC legend in a real fight
The Beast Incarnate is one of the few individuals to achieve success in both UFC and World Wrestling Entertainment. The legendary Conor McGregor has publicly challenged Brock Lesnar on multiple occasions.
In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling, pro wrestling veteran Kenny Bolin mentioned that if McGregor and the 10-time WWE World Champion faced off, the latter would decimate The Notorious.
"Conor McGregor was talking sh*t on Brock Lesnar. Now whether I like Brock Lesnar, whether I don't, Lesnar's gonna beat the dog sh*t out of Conor McGregor. If he gets him down, Conor's f***ed. So I look at wrestling like do I believe what I'm about to see."
The WWE Universe was seemingly disappointed when Brock Lesnar didn't make a comeback at SummerSlam 2024. Fans eagerly await The Beast Incarnate's return to the Stamford-based promotion.
