Since last night, PWInsider.com has received a number of emails from readers asking about or assuming that Brock Lesnar's return to WWE last night at Summerslam is an indication that the Janel Grant lawsuit against WWE, Vince McMahon, etc. has ended or that this was a sign that Lesnar was removed from the lawsuit.
Incorrect.
Let's clarify:
*The lawsuit, filed before the United States District Court in Connecticut is, as of this morning's court records, still active. There has been no settlement or anything else filed by the court. That lawsuit is still proceeding. The last listed update was on 7/1 as WWE and McMahon have pushed for the matter to moved into private arbitration, citing that Grant's agreement with McMahon allows for such. Obviously, Grant wants it to remain before the Court. If anything else has happened, it has not been cited in court records.
*Brock Lesnar was not removed from anything, because he was NEVER, EVER a defendant in the lawsuit. Lesnar was never being sued.
*Lesnar is still named in the lawsuit in the allegations by Grant that she was allegedly offered to him sexually to entice Lesnar to sign a new contract with WWE during the Vince McMahon ownership era. Those allegations remain in the lawsuit and have never been dropped.
So, all signs are that Lesnar's return would be independent of the Grant lawsuit, not an indication of anything else.
