Brock Lesnar is currently AWOL in the WWE and has not stepped into the ring since 2023. The legendary fighter was named in the lawsuit against former CEO Vince McMahon, who was accused of s*xual harassment and trafficking. Lesnar had his last match in the WWE against Cody Rhodes, where he lost.
Despite Lesnar’s image after the SummerSlam match in 2023, his gesture at the fight’s end impressed many fans. Lesnar lost against Cody Rhodes but acknowledged the young fighter’s victory with grace and even celebrated Rhodes.
Brock Lesnar’s last match in WWE saw him do a sweet gesture
Brock Lesnar is a legendary fighter who has made his mark in multiple promotions like the WWE, UFC, and more. He is currently not in the WWE after he was named in the lawsuit against former CEO Vince McMahon. The former CEO reportedly shared s*xually explicit images of the defendant with Lesnar (via Courthouse News).
Lesnar was last seen in the ring with Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam in 2023. The two had several run-ins with each other before the main event, with both winning one match each. Rhodes finally challenged the legendary fighter at SummerSlam, which he accepted after attacking him on RAW again.
The intense match saw Rhodes finally beat Lesnar in the ring. However, Brock Lesnar was not a sore loser and even celebrated the American Nightmare’s victory, hugging him and endorsing him as a future champion. Fans were ecstatic at the passing of the torch (via WWE).
Undertaker gives his streak to Lesnar, Lesnar gives his career to Cody. We’re getting old. Our heroes are retiring.

I never thought I’d see the day where Brock actually showed respect for someone like that. That gave me goosebumps.

Cody’s smile at the end says it all about how much that moment meant to him…..congrats Cody

First handshake I’ve ever seen Brock give without an F5!

Fans were also speculating at the time that Lesnar may have a run as a face further down the line as he has traditionally been a heel in the promotion.
Will Brock Lesnar return to the WWE?
Former WWE CEO and co-founder Vince McMahon stepped down from his position in 2022 after allegations of s*xual assault and trafficking. The executive was accused by a former employee of courting s*xual favors in exchange for career opportunities, sharing explicit images of herself with other employees, and using her to entice WWE talent (via WSJ).
WSJ reported that Brock Lesnar was one of the talents who was alluded to in the lawsuit, though he was not named. Since then, Lesnar has been missing from the WWE and it is highly possible that he will not return anytime soon. According to Ringside News, Lesnar will only return once the legal troubles are over.
The legendary fighter was being courted by the WWE to sign a new contract back in 2021, during which the plaintiff was reported to have been forced to send explicit images to him as a method of enticing him to sign the contract. The lawsuit has reportedly not reached a settlement yet and neither side is willing to back down.
