Brock Lesnar has not been seen on WWE television since his loss to Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam 2023 to conclude their trilogy together. However, part of his hiatus from the ring was due to his name being tied to Vince McMahon’s sex trafficking lawsuit, which prevented Lesnar from making any returns at the time. Netflix’s ‘Mr. McMahon’ docuseries, released earlier this week, addresses Lesnar’s possible involvement in the scandal, but during the documentary, WWE CCO Triple H said that ‘The Beast’ is welcome to the company at any time. Speaking on “83 Weeks,” Eric Bischoff weighed in on the likelihood of Lesnar’s return to WWE, explaining that the seven-time world champion may not feel the need to step into the ropes again.

“There is no way to know man. Brock is unique. Brock has enough money to last the next three lives… His children will never be able to spend the money Brock has earned, and in addition to the money, Brock also agriculture. That’s his.” joy, that’s his passion, that’s what Brock is at peace with, based on what I’ve heard. I don’t know Brock that well, and man, I don’t know that he doesn’t need that, so it’s a matter of does he want to. and at some point you just don’t want it anymore. What’s Brock going to do that he hasn’t already done ten times in the last twelve years?’

Since money may not even be a motivating factor for Lesnar right now, it remains to be seen if and when the UFC Hall of Famer will step back into a WWE ring.
