Janel Grant Photos Emerge Amid WWE's Decision To Bring Back Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar made his return to WWE programming at SummerSlam, marking his first appearance in two years. The event took place at MetLife Stadium, where Lesnar confronted John Cena after Cena’s championship match loss to Cody Rhodes.
Lesnar’s absence from WWE programming began in early 2024 following his inclusion in a federal lawsuit. Former WWE employee Janel Grant filed legal action against the company and former chairman Vince McMahon. The complaint includes serious allegations of misconduct within the organization.
Amid Lesnar’s return, several photos involving Grant and her ongoing situation with the WWE came to light:

The lawsuit specifically references interactions involving Grant, McMahon, and other WWE personnel. Grant’s legal team alleges that McMahon shared explicit content featuring Grant with multiple individuals. This included what the complaint describes as a former UFC Heavyweight Champion who WWE was negotiating a contract with at the time.
Initially, the lawsuit referenced this individual without naming them directly. Later amendments to the complaint specifically identified Lesnar in connection with these allegations. McMahon has denied all claims made in the legal filing.
Lesnar’s WWE Status:
| Period | Status | Notable Events |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-2024 | Active performer | Regular WWE appearances |
| 2024 | Indefinite hiatus | Removed from Royal Rumble |
| August 2025 | Return to programming | SummerSlam confrontation |
The wrestling industry observed Lesnar’s extended absence from WWE television and live events. His scheduled Royal Rumble appearance was cancelled, and the company made no announcements regarding his future status during this period.
Reports indicate WWE’s legal department cleared Lesnar for his return approximately one month before SummerSlam. This clearance suggests potential developments in the ongoing legal proceedings, though specific details remain undisclosed.
Lesnar’s SummerSlam appearance involved his signature F-5 finishing maneuver on John Cena. This physical confrontation occurred after Cody Rhodes successfully defended his championship against Cena in the main event.
Following the return, Grant’s representatives issued public statements criticizing WWE’s decision. They characterized the move as an attempt to minimize ongoing misconduct allegations. The legal team emphasized their intention to pursue full disclosure of facts through court proceedings.
Current Implications:
The situation involves multiple high-profile figures including John Laurinaitis, who also faces allegations in Grant’s complaint. WWE continues operating under new leadership following McMahon’s departure from his executive roles.
Lesnar’s return raises questions about WWE’s approach to talent management during active legal proceedings. The company has not issued detailed statements regarding their decision-making process for his reinstatement to active programming.
