Brock Lesnar’s Absence from WWE Game Raises Eyebrows Amid Vince McMahon Scandal
The wrestling world is grappling with the aftermath of allegations against Vince McMahon, filed on January 25, encompassing serious charges such as sexual trafficking and abuse. Amidst the legal turmoil, an unnamed ‘WWE Superstar,’ identified as a former UFC Heavyweight Champion negotiating with WWE during the alleged incidents, has come under scrutiny.
While it’s essential to clarify that Brock Lesnar was not directly named in the lawsuit, the Wall Street Journal suggests that he might be the WWE Superstar alluded to in the legal proceedings. This revelation has prompted WWE to revise its creative plans, leading to Lesnar’s exclusion from the Royal Rumble match on January 27 and potential sidelining from WrestleMania in April.
Concerns about Lesnar’s status extend to the virtual realm, with reports from players of the WWE 2K Supercard mobile game on February 1 indicating his sudden disappearance. Inside sources indicate that WWE is likely to downplay or remove Lesnar from various 2K projects and potentially other licensed products, according to PW Insider.
The uncertainty lingers regarding Lesnar’s presence in the upcoming WWE 2K24 video game, scheduled for an early March release. As of February 1, Lesnar still features prominently on the official WWE 2K website, notably on the cover of the ’40 Years of WrestleMania’ edition. Despite being listed as a current ‘Superstar’ on WWE’s official roster page, Lesnar’s future in WWE remains uncertain, with the rapidly evolving situation.
It’s noteworthy that Vince McMahon’s profile on the same page was removed from public view on January 26. For those brave enough to confront its disturbing content, the full lawsuit filed on January 25, 2024, is accessible for review.
