A new report provides an update on Brock Lesnar following some rumors that there was some movement regarding his return.
As previously reported, Brock Lesnar was set to return at WWE Royal Rumble. There were also plans for him to work Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania 40. However, he was implicated in Janel Grant’s sexual assault and trafficking lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE. The plans for Lesnar were then dropped.
In the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer provided an update on the situation. He wrote that there was something done that indicated a “less hard line” about Lesnar after his plans for WrestleMania had been dropped. However, he cited one company source who noted that there was “no movement at all right now” to bring Lesnar back as a performer.
Brock Lesnar was also removed from the WWE 2K24 “Forty Years of WrestleMania” cover and the WWE “Then, Now, Forever” opening video.
