In an interview with IGN to hype WWE '12, Lesnar gave his perspective on a possible full-fledged WWE in-ring return.
"It would have to be under the right circumstances, I don't know if Mr. McMahon and I could come to the right circumstances. If it was good for me and good for him I think that we could do something. At the end of the day, my life, my character and my profession - I take them very seriously. At the end of the day, if it doesn't help me or my family out, and it doesn't make sense for me to do, then I don't do it. Everything would have to fall in the right place, but would I consider it? Absolutely." - Brock Lesnar on possible WWE return, IGN.com
