Mostly out. There have been all kinds of changes in wrestling so far this year but the biggest has been Vince McMahon stepping down from WWE/TKO over a series of allegations made by a former WWE employee. These allegations were made in a lawsuit which also implicated Brock Lesnar, and now we are seeing just how much of an impact this will have on Lesnar as well.

According to Insider Gaming, Lesnar will not be a playable character in the upcoming WWE 2K24 video game. While Lesnar’s character and game file will still be in the game as it was too late to remove them, Lesnar is not expected to be accessible without hacking the game in some way. Lesnar was already removed from both the Royal Rumble and his expected WrestleMania match as a result of the allegations.
There have been some other games in WWE history. Check out some of them over the years:
Opinion: This is the kind of thing that pretty much has to be done as there is little way to present Lesnar when you consider everything that he is alleged to have been a part of with McMahon. It wouldn’t be the best look for WWE and they seem to understand that. At the same time, this is likely going to be quite a hit to Lesnar, as video game royalties can be rather lucrative for wrestlers.
What do you think of the change? Will Lesnar ever return to WWE TV? Let us know in the comments below.
