WWE Superstar Brock Lesnar faces another major setback in his career. Lesnar finds himself ousted from a WWE game amidst swirling allegations involving Vince McMahon. The bombshell dropped on January 25, with a lawsuit unleashing accusations against McMahon, including claims of sexual trafficking and abuse.
Amidst the legal storm, the lawsuit also implicated several unnamed parties, with one cryptically identified as “WWE Superstar,” who was supposedly involved in the alleged situation. Described as a former UFC Heavyweight Champion in talks with WWE during the period, speculation pointed to Lesnar as the enigmatic figure.
Although Lesnar remained unmentioned in the lawsuit, the Wall Street Journal linked him to the persona of “WWE Superstar.” This resulted in WWE pulling Lesnar from the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania, thus nixing his future appearances.
The ripple effects extended to the digital realm as well, with players of the WWE 2K Supercard mobile game noticing Lesnar’s disappearance from the roster on February 1. PWInsider suggests that this removal might extend to other gaming projects involving Lesnar, indicating a potential shift in his digital presence across various platforms.
While uncertainty looms over his inclusion in future WWE games, Lesnar remains featured on certain promotional material, such as the cover of the 40 Years of WrestleMania edition of WWE 2K24. However, his status on WWE.com’s official roster remains unchanged as of February 1, despite McMahon’s profile being removed.
