WWE has taken action against Brock Lesnar in response to the allegations surrounding the Janel Grant case. Lesnar has reportedly been removed from the WWE 2K Supercard Digital Collectible Game, and it is anticipated that he might be “downplayed” or excluded from other 2K games in the future. This decision aligns with WWE’s approach to Lesnar after he was originally scheduled to participate in the men’s Royal Rumble match but was abruptly removed following the emergence of allegations against Vince McMahon.
The lawsuit filed by Janel Grant accuses McMahon of soliciting her to create “personalized sexual content” for Lesnar, aimed at persuading him to sign a new deal with WWE in 2020. Lesnar, initially slated to return at the Royal Rumble, was replaced by Bron Breakker in the match. The lawsuit has had broader implications, with WWE taking measures to address the fallout.
Slim Jim, which had a contract with WWE, temporarily suspended its deal in response to the allegations against McMahon. However, the contract was reinstated after McMahon’s resignation from TKO. WWE has been actively addressing the situation, including the removal of a Vince McMahon shirt from sale at the Royal Rumble venue, and the deletion of McMahon’s WWE.com profile page.
In light of the severity of the allegations, industry insiders, such as Dave Meltzer, speculate that both Lesnar and McMahon may have participated in their last WWE match. The legal implications have grown, as Grant’s attorney revealed that additional victims have come forward, suggesting that more individuals could speak out against McMahon.
This evolving situation continues to impact the WWE landscape, raising questions about the future of key figures like Lesnar and McMahon within the organization. The company’s response underscores a commitment to address serious allegations and maintain a stance against individuals facing such accusations. As the legal proceedings unfold, the wrestling community remains attentive to potential developments and their implications for the broader wrestling industry.
