With him not part of any WWE program, the question was whether he would ever return. However, the WWE put him back on the website while fans speculated their theories.

“His name right now. They can’t bring him back now,” he added. The Beast’s involvement with the Vince McMahon controversy remains fresh in the minds of the wrestling community. Hence, they wouldn’t take kindly if the WWE chose to bring him back. Mantell even touched upon what legendary commentator Jim Ross said about the situation on his podcast.

Mantell revealed, “Jim Ross just came out and said, ‘Hey, it’s time to move on. It’s time to do this. It’s time to do that.” According to Good Ol’ JR, WWE fans should’ve just moved on from what Vince McMahon and everyone involved did. This is something that didn’t sit well with the former WWE employee. He said, “No, it’s time to move on when they’re through when it goes through the legal system.” According to reports, the case is still being investigated, with no word from Lesnar’s side. Mantell believes that The Beast may not appear till later this year if he is even given the chance to appear in the WWE.
