A spokesperson for former WWE employee Janel Grant has issued a statement on Brock Lesnar’s return to WWE. He made his surprise return to WWE at the end of SummerSlam Night Two.
This was Lesnar’s first appearance since SummerSlam 2023.
Lesnar’s music hit after Cena was in the ring by himself, after losing the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes. Lesnar made his way down to the ring, stared down Cena, took off his jacket and hat. Lesnar then entered the ring and was able to get the upper hand on Cena, delivering an F-5.
Lesnar is still named in the lawsuit by Grant, but only as a former UFC Champion and not by his actual name. In her suit, she alleges that she was offered to Lesnar sexually in order to entice him to sign a new WWE contract, while Vince McMahon was still CEO and chairman of the company.
Grant filed her lawsuit against WWE, Vince McMahon and former WWE Executive John Laurinaitis in January 2024, alleging sexual abuse, sex trafficking and harassment. As of June 2025, Laurinaitis was dismissed from the case, after he agreed to cooperate in a confidential agreement to and provide evidence to Grant’s legal team.
Below is the statement from Grant’s spokesperson.
For far too long, abuse was allowed to thrive under WWE’s leadership. Instead of righting this wrong, WWE has done nothing to ensure those responsible are held accountable. This attempt to sweep misconduct under the rug will backfire. We look forward to the full set of facts, including those about Mr. Lesnar, coming out in a court of law where they belong but, in the meantime, we refer you back to Janel Grant’s updated complaint, which outlines, in detail, the abuse she endured by McMahon and others while employed at WWE.
