Brock Lesnar won’t be on WWE television for the foreseeable future, perhaps ever, following the sex trafficking lawsuit that was filed against Vince McMahon and WWE, with a former WWE/UFC Heavyweight Champion being named in the filing. Lesnar was later named in a report.
Nixed plans
As previously reported, Lesnar was expected back on WWE TV with his surprise return happening at the Royal Rumble, but Bron Breakker replaced him in the Men’s Rumble Match.
It was originally designed for him to be eliminated by Dominik Mysterio. They were supposed to wrestle each other at the Elimination Chamber. He was also slated to work with WWE Intercontinental Champion Gunther at WrestleMania 40, but those plans have been nixed.
Fans on Thursday noted that Lesnar had been pulled from the WWE 2K Supercard mobile game.
The latest
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful tweeted today, “Brock Lesnar has been removed from WWEs creative plans.”
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer also reported that there are no plans at this time to use Lesnar.
