Brock Lesnar removed from WWE SuperCard game

Posted on by Ethan Renner

Brock Lesnar content has been removed from the WWE SuperCard game published by 2K Games. 

PWInsider was first to report that Lesnar’s content had been pulled from the digital collectible game published by 2K and available on mobile platforms, adding in their report that they had confirmed the news. 

Insider’s report also cites sources stating that Lesnar is expected to be “downplayed as much as possible going forward by 2K and potentially other licensees.” 2K’s WWE 2K24 console game is scheduled for a March 8 release date.

The news comes on the heels of Lesnar’s implication in a lawsuit filed last week against WWE, Vince McMahon, and John Laurinaitis. 

The lawsuit filed by Janel Grant alleges that McMahon sexually assaulted, abused, degraded, and trafficked her, and alleges that Grant’s sexual services were offered to Lesnar as a bargaining chip in contract negotiations. Grant alleges that McMahon gave Lesnar her personal cellphone number and that Lesnar asked her to send him sexually explicit content.

Lesnar was reportedly slated to return to WWE programming imminently prior to the lawsuit being filed. 

Reports indicate that Lesnar was a planned entrant in last Saturday’s Royal Rumble match, but that he was removed from the event and that Bron Breakker was placed in the match in his stead. 

Lesnar has yet to issue a public statement since being implicated in the lawsuit.
