Brock Lesnar will reportedly not be a playable character when WWE 2K24 launches next month.

2K released the full roster for the upcoming game on Wednesday and it did not include either Vince McMahon or Lesnar.

However, Insider Gaming is reporting that files relating to Lesnar are still included in the game, as it was too late for them to be removed completely.

"Multiple sources have told Insider Insider Gaming that while it was too late to fully remove Lesnar from the game, the plan shifted to simply make him unplayable for players upon release," writes Mike Straw.

Absolute loser move. If the content's in the game then let people use it.

And the 2K Discord is banning anyone who questions the move or brings up the issue at all. >_>

If the content is in the game, it won't take long for someone to find a way to make use of it.

Isn't that what happened with Big Show in Smackdown 2? He'd still come out in Royal Rumbles because they messed it up.

He's alleged to be one of the people in on Vince's sexual abuse and rape escapades.

He is in the VKM lawsuit . But not by name, but people know it is him.

Former executive chairman of TKO Group Holdings, Vince McMahon, has found himself out of WWE following a lawsuit filed by former company employee Janel Grant. McMahon and former WWE head of talent relations John Laurinaitis are accused of sexually abusing Grant.

The lawsuit also alleges that McMahon shared explicit photos of Grant and a video of her urinating to an unnamed wrestler who requested it. The Wall Street Journal reported that the talent in question was Brock Lesnar.

As a result of the report and allegations, Brock Lesnar was reportedly removed from the Royal Rumble event this past weekend. Now, Fightful Select is reporting that it may quite some time before wrestling fans see Brock Lesnar back in the ring again.

If that report holds true, which is very likely, given the circumstances, don't expect him to make his return to the UFC. Both UFC and WWE are now under the same umbrella, TKO Group Holdings. While UFC CEO Dana White has a strong relationship with TKO CEO Ari Emanuel, Ari is doing all he can to wipe away the negativity that McMahon has left behind, and that goes for TKO as a whole.

PWInsider reported that Emanuel might clean house when it comes to those who worked closely with Vince McMahon. That could mean doom for any remaining backstage WWE worker who was labeled a "Vince Guy," and it may even be the end of Brock Lesnar under the bright lights.


TL;DR: Brock was implicated in the Vince lawsuit and subsequently removed from WWE content for PR reasons

According to the lawsuit, Vince offered up the services of the woman he was abusing to an "ex UFC Champion" to get them to resign with WWE. So unless the woman was offered to Ronda, then that basically means it's Brock.

Brock was supposed to return for Royal Rumble and have a match at Wrestlemania before this came out.

Participated in Vince McMahon's sex trafficking scheme and abused at least one of the women McMahon was trafficking. If you look hard enough you could find the stuff he did to her which is pretty fucking gross.

I really hope anybody upset by this just doesn't know what he did, otherwise it's super gross.

Allegedly.
Brock may have done all that but nobody knows how much he actually knew or what Vince told him what was actually happening. From his perspective it very well could've been Vince trying to hook him up.

Nobody knows because Brock hasn't addressed it at all, not even a statement from his lawyer. Either he doesn't really care or it's true is all I can divine from his silence.

Hook him up with a woman who would do anything for him over a message and who he was organised to meet up with?

Of course he knew. If there was any plausible deniability they could pursue they would keep him around.
