Brock Lesnar’s WWE Future in Doubt: No Creative Plans Amid Ongoing Investigations

Former UFC heavyweight champion and WWE superstar Brock Lesnar is rumored to not be considered for any future roles, according to community insiders.

The Future of Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar is not currently included in WWE’s creative plans for upcoming storylines. Despite being a major star and a former champion, according to insider sources, there are no specific story arcs or matches set for him in the near future. This situation is noted because Lesnar often plays a major role in WWE events.

While fans might want to see Lesnar back soon, the WWE plans to focus on other wrestlers and storylines without him. His absence might be due to his special contract and the way he usually makes limited appearances, but most importantly, his potential involvement with the Vince McMahon court case.

While not explicitly named in the lawsuit filed by Janel Grant against Vince McMahon, Brock Lesnar is believed to be the unnamed “WWE Superstar” described in the allegations. The lawsuit alleges that McMahon used Grant to entice this wrestler (believed to be Lesnar) to re-sign with WWE. McMahon allegedly shared explicit photos and videos of Grant with the wrestler. After Lesnar signed a new contract with WWE, McMahon allegedly texted Grant stating that “part of the deal was f*****g U.”

As a result of these allegations, WWE has reportedly removed Brock Lesnar from their creative plans. It’s important to note that Lesnar has not been officially charged with any crime, and these allegations are part of the ongoing lawsuit against McMahon and WWE. The situation is still developing, and Lesnar’s future with WWE remains uncertain as the company appears to be distancing itself from him.

The US-born Brock Lesnar began as a standout collegiate wrestler at the University of Minnesota, where he won the NCAA Division I heavyweight championship in 2000. After college, Lesnar transitioned to professional wrestling, joining WWE in 2002 and quickly rising to become one of its biggest stars, winning multiple championships.

In 2004, he left WWE to pursue other ventures, including a brief stint in the NFL. Lesnar then made a successful transition to MMA joining the UFC in 2008 and capturing the heavyweight title. After retiring from MMA in 2011, he returned to WWE in 2012, where he has continued to be a dominant force, winning numerous titles and headlining major events.

On This Day: Jon Jones Makes His Historic UFC Debut at UFC 87 – Birth of a Legend in 2008

Jon Jones – UFC 87

It feels like a lifetime has passed since Jones captured UFC gold and held onto that title with an iron grip. But, ‘Bones’ made his UFC debut at just 21 years old and merely on two weeks’ notice as he was a late replacement. The undefeated 6-0 fight would continue his win streak over the highly respected Andra Gusmao.

Brazil’s Gusmao was also making his UFC debut with an unbeaten 5-0 and was considered a very hot prospect. His hype train was derailed by Jon Jones who showed an interesting mix of spinning back elbows and unorthodox takedowns.

On the UFC 87 fight, Jon Jones said:

“I was trying to stay low-key and composed. But once I hit the arena and they locked that gate, there were no jitters. Gusmao was my first fight that went the distance. He definitely had a chin on him and he wasn’t going down, but I don’t believe in standing around and waiting. I think when you step into the cage, you’ve got to take the cage and make it your zone.”

Jones added:

“All the crazy spinning back fists and back kicks, spinning elbows and all that crazy stuff that I do while competing have strictly come from moves that I’ve seen on youtube.”

After this win, the NJCAA collegiate wrestling standout changed gym to Jackson Wink MMA Academy and began his rise through the UFC. In 2011, he became the youngest champion in UFC history. Win an incredible list of wins over fighters such as Mauricio ‘Shogun Rua’ Daniel Cormier, Glover Teixeira, Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, Rashad Evans, and many others, Jones cemented his place as an all-time great in MMA history.

All that stuff didn’t work.”
