However, the new report has clarified that it is not the case, and that the “clearance” was a decision made by WWE’s legal department to bring him back to TV, and not a legal exoneration. Grant’s legal team have stated that they expect more details about those involved in the lawsuit, including Lesnar, to emerge in discovery.
