WWE's own merchandise online shop may have given the biggest clue to date regarding Brock Lesnar's future (or lack thereof) in the promotion.
Last week, Janel Grant filed a lawsuit against WWE and Vince McMahon, alleging that she has been abused and trafficked by the former Chairman. While McMahon has denied all allegations against him, he stepped down from WWE/TKO shortly after Slim Jim suspended its sponsorship deal with the wrestling promotion. John Lauriniatis, who is named in the lawsuit, has stated that he is a victim in this disturbing situation and not a predator.
While Brock Lesnar isn't named in the lawsuit, the paperwork alleges that Grant was trafficked to a former UFC Heavyweight Champion, believed to be the part-time Superstar. Lesnar was subsequently pulled from the Royal Rumble Premium Live Event as well as the WWE 2K Supercard game. There are reportedly some in WWE who believe that Lesnar is finished with the company due to the scandal.
Now, WWE has given arguably their biggest signal to date that Lesnar's WWE career is over. PW Insider reports that the vast majority of Brock Lesnar merchandise has been moved to the sale section of WWEShop.com. While this shouldn't be seen as confirmation of an exit, WWE typically reduces the price of merchandise they have released from the company.
WWE sources who spoke to PW Insider added that right now, Lesnar is "off the table" when it comes to creative pitches. Brock Lesnar has not publicly commented on the allegations in Miss Grant's lawsuit against WWE and Vince McMahon.
