During the WrestleMania 40 press conference, The Game said, “At one point, there was a conversation about (the) Royal Rumble, a long time ago.”
He added that as of now, Lesnar’s home and he’s “being Brock.” HHH mentioned that The Beast Incarnate’s status is the same as before, that is, he is not “gone from WWE“; instead, he’s just home “being Brock.” Thus, it seems Triple H did not give a time frame for Lesnar’s return to the promotion, but he confirmed that though Brock is away from WWE television, he is still a part of the company.
