Brock Lesnar didn't make his planned WWE return after Janel Grant's lawsuit dropped. There is a belief that he may not be back, and gamers anticipating laying out their friends with Lesnar's F5 in WWE 2k24 might be a bit bummed right now.
Brock Lesnar was not named in Janel Grant's lawsuit against Vince McMahon, WWE and John Laurinaitis. A former UFC Heavyweight Champion who was working on a new contract with WWE was mentioned, and that was not a good look for Lesnar.
It is alleged that the Beast Incarnate wanted a video of Grant urinating, and then he wanted a "play date" as part of his new contract. The date couldn't be arranged, but it happened, according to the damning allegations in the lawsuit.
2K Already nixed Lesnar from their SuperCard mobile game. Now, the former Universal Champion is seemingly out of WWE 2K24. Mike Johnson reported on PW Insider that 2k is making strides to remove Lesnar from the game
"It would appear that 2K, as a licensee for WWE, is following the company’s lead after WWE backed off on using Lesnar last weekend at the Royal Rumble event.
“Going forward, PWInsider.com has been told by sources familiar to the matter that we should expect to see Lesnar downplayed (if not outright removed as he was in the Supercard game) as much as possible going forward by 2K and potentially other licensees.”
Lesnar was scheduled to make his return and kick off his WrestleMania season storyline. However, in light of the lawsuit filed by Janel Grant against WWE, Vince McMahon, and John Laurinaitis a few days prior, the company decided to 'withdraw' Lesnar's participation.
WWE planned for Brock Lesnar to face Dominik Mysterio at Elimination Chamber and then GUNTHER at WrestleMania. The company was forced to figure out other things after Lesnar was pulled from creative.
Although Bron Breakker replaced Lesnar in the Royal Rumble match, and solidified his main roster call-up, I was told that he is not getting Lesnar's planned matches at Chamber and Mania. I also exclusively reported that he will be on the RAW brand when he gets things going.
