Former WCW personality Missy Hyatt has reacted publicly to Brock Lesnar’s surprise return to WWE television on Monday night, posting her take on X that referenced Lesnar’s role in the ongoing Janel Grant sex trafficking lawsuit against Vince McMahon.
Lesnar made his surprise WWE television return on the May 18 episode of Monday Night Raw in Greensboro, NC, attacking Oba Femi during the open challenge segment. It is Lesnar’s first WWE TV appearance since SummerSlam 2023, where he lost to Cody Rhodes in the final match of their trilogy. Lesnar was at one point widely expected to wrestle GUNTHER at WrestleMania 41 before being pulled in the wake of allegations against Vince McMahon.
Hyatt, who has been one of the more vocal long-time wrestling personalities on the McMahon allegations over the years, posted her reaction within hours of the segment airing.
“I just heard brock lesnar is back. Did they find a woman to woo him back with urination videos? Did a big wig procure him a woman as a negotiation perk? Or did he just want to get out of the house, since those previous allegations are never fun to discuss with your wife if you are home 24/7?”
Lesnar was named in Janel Grant’s amended sex trafficking complaint against Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis, and WWE in January 2025. The complaint alleges that Vince McMahon offered Grant to Lesnar for a sexual encounter during Lesnar’s formal negotiation of a new contract with WWE, and that McMahon ordered Grant to send Lesnar sexually explicit content of herself. The complaint includes additional details from Grant’s legal team that allege:
- McMahon sent Grant a text message fantasizing in graphic detail about watching as a group of men “surrounded” her and left her physically “wrecked”
- A text message from McMahon to Grant making clear that only McMahon had the power to “arrange” Grant’s sexual encounters
- A separate occasion where McMahon video recorded Grant while nude for Laurinaitis without Grant’s knowledge or consent
- Details about a “sham investigation” WWE proclaimed to conduct in 2022 after it became public that McMahon had signed NDAs with multiple women, in which the investigators refused to interview Grant
- The transcript of a voice message from McMahon to Grant attempting to coerce her into signing an NDA “really fucking fast” so he wouldn’t get kicked out of his own “fucking company”
A spokesperson for Grant stated that “for far too long, abuse was allowed to thrive under WWE’s leadership.”
Lesnar has not been formally accused in the suit and has not been named as a defendant. The Grant lawsuit was originally filed in January 2024 in the Connecticut federal court. The amended complaint adding Lesnar was filed in January 2025. The case is currently in discovery, with related WWE shareholder litigation also ongoing in Delaware Chancery Court.
