A potential update on the former WWE Chairman and CEO's status with the company has now surfaced. According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE tested the waters with Brock Lesnar's return, and he wouldn't be surprised if McMahon came back in the future.

"I wouldn’t be surprised [if Vince McMahon returned to WWE]. I just got a thing from TKO two/three days ago about Vince’s stock and everything. They want to make moments. I think Brock shows them what the reaction will be to Vince, and it’d be a tough one to do."

The wrestling journalist doesn't think Vince McMahon will return to WWE, let alone in a creative capacity, at least not until the ongoing Janel Grant lawsuit against him and the company settles.

"I don’t think he’ll ever be put back in charge of creative, that I don’t expect. He’s not gonna be back until that lawsuit is settled, and he may never be back, and he should never be back," Meltzer said. (H/T: TJR Wrestling)

"And all we can do is move forward for us as a company creative. You know, all we can do is move forward. And allegations are allegations, right? It’s a complicated relationship for anybody in life. Nobody is perfect. But accusations are made, and they, that’s a whole legal thing that is totally separate and aside from what we do," he said.
