SUMMARY
- Ever since Janel Grant filed a lawsuit against Vince McMahon, Brock Lesnar has also been a hot topic of discussion.
- As The Beast was also named in the suit, WWE done a lot of things to make some distance from Brock Lesnar.
Ever since Vince McMahon resigned from WWE due to Janel Grant’s s*x trafficking lawsuit, the company hasn’t been the same. It’s true that this was the result of all the backlash Vincent removed from the fans, but another name that has been in the headlines due to this lawsuit is most Brock Lesnar.
While mentioning The Beast in the suit, Grant claimed that Mr. McMahon used her to sign Lesnar back to the company. This obviously led to outrage from the fans but the Triple H-led promotion has also been trying to erase the veteran from their records.
In a similar fashion, WWE has taken another big step in removing Brock after the s*x trafficking lawsuit. As noted during the February 9 SmackDown, the company removed the 46-year-old from the intro video package on the show.

In fact, the Stamford-based promotion has replaced him with LA Knight, which is surely a major development. This move by the organization has led to a lot of arguments on the internet, as fans have been sharing different theories about The Beast’s involvement in the company.
The Beast was previously removed from the 2K24 trailer
Brock Lesnar’s emission from the SmackDown intro video raised a lot of eyebrows, as fans have been questioning this decision. But this isn’t the first such case, as The Beast was previously removed from the 2K24 trailer by WWE.
Initially, Lesnar was a part of the trailer for the video game’s WrestleMania cover, but he was removed from the trailer after the allegations by Janel Grant. In fact, he was replaced by John Cena, and that was a major indication that the promotion isn’t looking to continue their association with the legendary in-ring performer.
Can Brock Lesnar ever make a return to WWE?
Recent decisions by WWE have showcased that they’re trying to distance themselves from Brock. But there’s been a lot of discussion around the topic of whether this is just a temporary move or something that’s going to last forever.
Due to this, fans wonder if Brock Lesnar can ever make a return to the Stamford-based promotion or not. In this regard, it has been reported that the company will be downplaying and potentially removing The Beast from WWE content. In fact, the organization now has no plans to use him on television in the near future.

This was the reason the plans for the 46-year-old veteran’s Royal Rumble match appearance were dropped by Triple H. If we look at all these events, it seems like the former Universal Champion isn’t returning to the promotion anytime soon. But it still remains to be seen what the future holds for the pro wrestling legend.
