Brock Lesnar Pulled From WWE SuperCard Game
Brock Lesnar out of WWE SuperCard
Feb 2, 2024
Brock Lesnar has been pulled from the WWE SuperCard digital collectable card game published by 2K. Several people noticed Lesnar had disappeared from the game and Mike Johnson of PWInsider has since confirmed that Lesnar has been withdrawn from the title.
PWInsider has speculated that 2K is simply following WWE's lead after the company backed off from bringing Lesnar back to TV. Lesnar is expected to be downplayed by 2K and other WWE licensees but it is unknown if he will still be featured in the upcoming WWE 2K24 console video game.
Brock Lesnar was implicated in the sex trafficking lawsuit filed against Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis, and WWE by Janel Grant. Lesnar was not directly named but a "former UFC Heavyweight Champion" was referenced and later confirmed to be Lesnar by the Wall Street Journal.
Within the lawsuit, it alleges that Grant, who is a former WWE employee, was used as a sexual pawn by Vince McMahon in his attempts to sign Lesnar to a new deal in 2021, with one of the informal conditions of Lesnar's comeback being that he could "f**k" Grant. Vince McMahon also allegedly directed Grant to produce "personalized sexual content" for Lesnar. Two sexual encounters between Lesnar and Grant were allegedly arranged but did not end up going ahead.
Lesnar was scheduled to make his WWE return in the men's Royal Rumble match on January 27 but he ended up being pulled from the event after the lawsuit was filed. The former WWE Champion's long-term future with the company is unclear.
