Despite growing speculation about Brock Lesnar’s potential return to WWE, UFC Hall of Famer and commentator Daniel Cormier recently confirmed that Lesnar is currently on WWE’s ban list. This revelation came during a discussion on MightyCast with former UFC Flyweight Champion Demetrious Johnson, where Cormier declined the idea of facing Lesnar in a WWE match, citing the ban without providing further explanation.
Fans have noticed WWE teasing Lesnar’s comeback over recent weeks, with references to him by other superstars, new merchandise releases, and uploads of his past matches on the company’s YouTube channel. However, there has been no on-screen presence of The Beast Incarnate since SummerSlam 2023, deepening intrigue around his status.
Lesnar’s name also appeared in a lawsuit filed by Janel Grant against Vince McMahon and WWE, adding to the mystery behind the reasons for his absence and current ban from programming.
“I mean, Brock [Lesnar] is on the ban list right now. Oh, dude, Brock got into so much trouble. He knows he tried to hold me and sh*t. You know what Brock did? I ain’t telling you on air what Brock did. Bro is in so much trouble,” he said. [1:13:10 to 1:13:25]

“You know, Brock [Lesnar] and I have always been the same. You know, we’re very cordial. We respect each other exponentially, I believe. Brock is a different animal, man; I mean, literally. He is a competitive human being that never turns himself off. And, we all know him; I mean, everybody knows him on a different level. But we are good friends, man. We don’t keep in contact that much because he is a recluse. His enjoyment is keeping away from the human race. I respect that exponentially,” he said.
