Brock Lesnar removed from WWE SuperCard following Vince McMahon allegations

WWE wrestler Brock Lesnar has been removed from the mobile game WWE SuperCard following the filing of a recent lawsuit.

The lawsuit, which was filed against ex-WWE boss Vince McMahon by ex-WWE employee Janel Grant, alleged a litany of abusive behavior, including sexual assault and sex trafficking. Mr McMahon denies the allegations.

While not named in the suit, a portion of the documentation filed by Ms Grant refers to a “former UFC and WWE Champion” who Ms Grant alleges was offered sexual favors from Grant, by McMahon, against her will.

The only former WWE and UFC Champion who seemingly fits the description is Brock Lesnar, who initially retired from professional wrestling in the mid-2000s, before beginning a successful career in the UFC. He would later return to the WWE in the 2010s.

Now, players of WWE SuperCard are reporting that all Brock Lesnar cards have been removed from the game, and are no longer usable in any of the game’s modes. WWE SuperCard is a Top Trumps-style game in which players battle by comparing card stats with each other.

VGC has contacted 2K for comment on this story, and will update it should we get a response

Further complicating matters for 2K is that Lesnar was recently announced as a featured character on the cover of a special edition of WWE 2K24. The cover, which celebrates 40 years of WrestleMania, features Lesnar alongside other WWE icons such as John Cena and The Undertaker.

WWE 2K24 is set to celebrate the anniversary of WWE’s biggest event with a series of matches recreating the biggest moments from WrestleMania.

Lesnar was reportedly removed from last Saturday’s Royal Rumble event due to the filing of the lawsuit. Lesnar has yet to comment on the allegations.
