Former UFC heavyweight champion and WWE superstar Brock Lesnar is rumored to not be considered for any future roles, according to community insiders.

The Future of Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar is not currently included in WWE’s creative plans for upcoming storylines. Despite being a major star and a former champion, according to insider sources, there are no specific story arcs or matches set for him in the near future. This situation is noted because Lesnar often plays a major role in WWE events.

While fans might want to see Lesnar back soon, the WWE plans to focus on other wrestlers and storylines without him. His absence might be due to his special contract and the way he usually makes limited appearances, but most importantly, his potential involvement with the Vince McMahon court case.

While not explicitly named in the lawsuit filed by Janel Grant against Vince McMahon, Brock Lesnar is believed to be the unnamed “WWE Superstar” described in the allegations. The lawsuit alleges that McMahon used Grant to entice this wrestler (believed to be Lesnar) to re-sign with WWE. McMahon allegedly shared explicit photos and videos of Grant with the wrestler. After Lesnar signed a new contract with WWE, McMahon allegedly texted Grant stating that “part of the deal was f*****g U.”

As a result of these allegations, WWE has reportedly removed Brock Lesnar from their creative plans. It’s important to note that Lesnar has not been officially charged with any crime, and these allegations are part of the ongoing lawsuit against McMahon and WWE. The situation is still developing, and Lesnar’s future with WWE remains uncertain as the company appears to be distancing itself from him.

The US-born Brock Lesnar began as a standout collegiate wrestler at the University of Minnesota, where he won the NCAA Division I heavyweight championship in 2000. After college, Lesnar transitioned to professional wrestling, joining WWE in 2002 and quickly rising to become one of its biggest stars, winning multiple championships.

In 2004, he left WWE to pursue other ventures, including a brief stint in the NFL. Lesnar then made a successful transition to MMA joining the UFC in 2008 and capturing the heavyweight title. After retiring from MMA in 2011, he returned to WWE in 2012, where he has continued to be a dominant force, winning numerous titles and headlining major events.
