People love a good video game story, and this is certainly a controversial one. The allegations in Janel Grant's lawsuit against Vince McMahon, WWE and John Laurinaitis spilled into the video game world, as 2k was forced to make a change. Despite the appearance that Brock Lesnar was removed from the game, he is still in the files.
WWE 2K24's roster dropped this week, and Brock Lesnar was missing. This was a very interesting omission from the game, but it was also too late in the process to remove him completely.
According to Mike Straw at Insider Gaming, Brock Lesnar is still in the files of the game. He just won't be a playable character.
"Despite being unplayable, his character and game files are still within WWE 2K24. That means that there will be ways for those with the ability to get him to become playable, it’ll just take some work to make it happen."
Since Brock Lesnar is still in the files of the game, odds are it won't take long for someone to break into the game and insert him into their regular gameplay.
Janel Grant's lawsuit alleges that in July 2021, Vince McMahon directed Janel Grant to create personalized sexual content for a WWE superstar he wanted to re-sign. The lawsuit did not identify the wrestler but described them as both a UFC fighter and WWE talent. Given the timeline of 2021, it's relatively straightforward to narrow down those options, although Brock Lesnar was not mentioned.
According to the lawsuit, McMahon shared explicit photos with the WWE Superstar, who expressed approval, stating, "he likes what he sees."
In December of the same year, McMahon allegedly provided Grant's personal cellphone number to the unnamed WWE Superstar. The lawsuit alleges that the wrestler requested a video of her urinating, and after she complied, he used derogatory language, referring to her as 'b*tch.' A meetup was planned, but they never followed through with it due to travel issues.
Brock Lesnar was supposed to have a match against Dominik Mysterio at Elimination Chamber, and then he was going to face GUNTHER at WrestleMania. Neither of those matches are happening.
Lesnar was also pulled from the 2024 Royal Rumble match, and Bron Breakker took his spot as a last-minute replacement. That also marked Breakker's official call-up, although he still has things to settle in NXT first.
Brock Lesnar is not in any WWE creative plans. I asked around about his status, and I was told that the only people speaking his name are high up in the food chain, and it is not in any regard to bringing him back. At this point, the belief within WWE is that the Beast Incarnate may be done in WWE.
