Nick Khan Describes Brock Lesnar As 'A Gem To Work With'

WWE President Nick Khan has described Brock Lesnar as a "gem to work with" and noted the company are "honoured" to have Lesnar back.

Khan told Daniel Cormier of ESPN: "When he walks into a room, he looks and usually is the baddest dude on the planet. That's his personification. He is a gem to work with. Easy. As long as he sort of knows things in advance, there are no issues. We're honoured to have him back."

Brock Lesnar has been back in WWE since SummerSlam 2025, with his return proving to be hugely controversial due to Brock being named in Janel Grant's ongoing sex trafficking lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE. While Lesnar is not a defendant in the lawsuit, he was implicated in the case when the lawsuit was first filed in January 2024, and he was outright named in the amended lawsuit filed in January 2025.

WWE scrapped plans for Brock Lesnar at the 2024 Royal Rumble following the filing of Grant's lawsuit, which also resulted in the resignation of Vince McMahon as TKO Executive Chairman. Lesnar was then absent from WWE TV until SummerSlam 2025 as he was not cleared to appear by the company's legal department.

Among the allegations in Grant's lawsuit, it has been claimed that the prospect of sexual encounters with Grant was a factor in Lesnar re-signing with WWE in 2021. The former UFC Heavyweight Champion has also been accused of directing Grant to film herself urinating in a personal video for him.
