Paul Heyman Comments On Potential Brock Lesnar WWE Return

Paul Heyman returned on last week's episode of WWE SmackDown, bringing CM Punk with him to join forces with the OG Bloodline ahead of their upcoming WarGames match with The Bloodline at Survivor Series.

The returns (and pairing) of Heyman and Punk have led some to speculate about whether Brock Lesnar will be following them in due course.

Heyman himself was asked if he had spoken to Lesnar recently during an interview with SHAK Wrestling, to which The Wiseman said:

"When it comes to Brock Lesnar, Lesnar doesn't like to be discussed about anything about his life that's off-camera. So, if I do speak to Brock Lesnar, he would want that to be private. If I don't speak with Brock Lesnar, he would want that to be private".

"Number one, I would never want to violate his wish for privacy. Number two, I would fear for a human being that would want to violate the feeling of privacy that would be desired by Brock Lesnar. Based on both love and appreciation for the man and a healthy dose of absolute fear of the man, I will neither confirm nor deny my knowledge of even the existence of a species on this planet that carries the name".

When asked specifically about the possibility of Lesnar making his return to WWE, Heyman added:

"I don't really put any thought into that at this time because it's not a subject that's going to resolve itself by Survivor Series or by the end of the year. Therefore, it's just not on the radar of things to address today". Lesnar was last seen in WWE at SummerSlam 2023 (where he lost to Cody Rhodes). He was scheduled to return in the 2024 men's Royal Rumble match, but was pulled from it after being implicated in the lawsuit filed by Janel Grant against Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis and WWE in the days leading up to the show.

As of October, WWE were reportedly not considering bringing Lesnar back.
