In a move that has sent shockwaves through the wrestling community, WWE star Brock Lesnar has been removed from the WWE 2K Supercard Digital Collectible Game.
This decision comes in the wake of serious allegations against him related to the Janel Grant case. Reports from PWInsider indicate that Lesnar’s removal is just the beginning, with potential downplaying or removal from various 2K games in the future.
WWE News: The Allegations and Immediate Fallout
The controversy stems from a lawsuit filed by Janel Grant against former WWE CEO Vince McMahon. The lawsuit alleges that McMahon requested Grant to produce “personalized sexual content” aimed at persuading Lesnar to sign a new deal with WWE in 2020.
This scandal has not only affected Lesnar’s career trajectory but also led to broader repercussions within WWE.
Following these allegations, Lesnar was conspicuously absent from the men’s Royal Rumble match, a spot that was filled by the up-and-coming star Bron Breakker.
WWE News: Corporate Reactions and Consequences
The fallout from these allegations has been swift and significant. Slim Jim, a brand that had entered into a partnership with WWE last year, temporarily paused their contract, only resuming their association after McMahon’s resignation from TKO.
Additionally, WWE took steps to distance itself from McMahon by removing a Vince McMahon-themed shirt from sale at the Royal Rumble event and deleting his profile page from the WWE website.
The Future of Lesnar and McMahon in WWE
The gravity of the situation has led to speculation about the future of both Lesnar and McMahon within WWE. Wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer has suggested that fans may have seen the last of both figures in a WWE ring.
Further complicating matters, Grant’s attorney has revealed that more victims have come forward, potentially leading to more allegations against McMahon.
