Ever since Janel Grant’s lawsuit mentioned The Beast‘s name in it, the promotion has been doing its best to distance itself from the veteran. And his removal from the game’s roster seems like the next move in this. Moreover, it must be noted that the he isn’t the only legendary superstar to be omitted.
Former WWE CEO, Vince McMahon, is another veteran who is not on the list, which is obvious given the seriousness of the lawsuit against him. In fact, the iconic star, Sting is also not named in the roster list, and fans have been left surprised by these recent developments.
Other popular names that are missing from the roster are Karl Anderson, Mark Coffey, George Steele, Ken Shamrock, Kurt Angle, and Razor Ramon. But the most surprising omission from the list is Drew McIntyre, and the WWE universe is wondering if it’s hint that The Scottish Warrior might leave the company soon.
WWE previously replaced Brock Lesnar in the WWE 2K24 trailer
A lot of fans have been surprised by The Beast’s absence from the roster of the upcoming edition of the video game. But it’s important to point out that this isn’t the first time WWE has tried to do something like this to their legendary in-ring worker. In fact, the promotion previously replaced Brock Lesnar in the WWE 2K24 trailer.
This year’s edition of 2K24 is set to have a special 40 Years of WrestleMania showcase, and Brock was initially featured on its cover. But as the company released a gameplay trailer, fans realized that Lesnar had been replaced by John Cena. With this move, the promotion made it pretty clear that they’re probably going to distance themselves from the star, and they’ve done so by not having him on the video game’s official roster.
Has The Beast made any public appearance after Janel Grant’s lawsuit?
With the 46-year-old facing a hard time since being named in Janel Grant’s lawsuit, a lot of fans want to know his side of the story. Even though The Beast hasn’t been seen in WWE since the allegations, he made a public appearance recently.

In a recent picture that went viral on the internet, Brock Lesnar was seen hugging his daughter, Mya Lesnar. This beautiful moment was captured after Mya won a shot-put competition with a throw of 19.07m. it was Brock’s first appearance since the lawsuit saga began, and fans talked about it heavily on the internet.
While the WWE universe was obviously happy to see Lesnar, it also reminded them that they would probably never get to see him again in the Triple H-led promotion. As the company has been removing him in a systematic manner, fans wonder if The Beast’s career is now finished. But, we’ll probably get a bit more clarity on this in the near future.
