In the history of WWE, it's hard to think of a superstar who has been more dominant than Brock Lesnar.
A 10-time world champion, Lesnar has a unique combination of strength and athleticism that has made him a prime attraction in WWE.

However, he's been missing from the promotion ever since he lost to Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam 2023.
Fans have since wondered when Lesnar would return to the squared circle. According to one insider, not anytime soon.
According to a report from professional wrestling insider Dr. Chris Featherstone, there are currently no internal conversations about Lesnar returning to WWE.
"I have been informed that there have been no internal conversations regarding Brock Lesnar coming back to WWE, and the belief is that he will not be returning any time in the foreseeable future," Featherstone said in a post on X.

While there is no confirmation regarding the reason why there are no plans for him "in the foreseeable future," it's safe to assume that it is because of his connection to the Vince McMahon sex trafficking scandal.
According to allegations from Janel Grant, McMahon told Grant to create "personalized sexual content" for a WWE Superstar he was trying to re-sign who was "also a UFC fighter."
The Wall Street Journal later confirmed this to be Lesnar, who is a former UFC Heavyweight Champion.
This has resulted in Lesnar being removed from multiple WWE products, including the "WWE SuperCard" mobile game, "WWE 2K24," and the introduction video of weekly WWE programming.
Lesnar has yet to make a public comment about the allegations.

Lesnar began his professional wrestling career with WWE's former developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling in 2000 where he was paired with Shelton Benjamin.
On March 18, 2002, Lesnar debuted on WWE television (then WWF) accompanied by legendary manager Paul Heyman.
In June 2002, Lesnar won King of the Ring and earned a shot at the WWE Undisputed Championship at SummerSlam. He successfully defeated The Rock for the title, becoming the youngest WWE Champion in history.
Lesnar would go on to have multiple iconic feuds and matches with superstars like Kurt Angle, Roman Reigns, Big Show, John Cena, and Eddie Guerrero.
