In a move that has sent ripples through the gaming and wrestling communities, WWE wrestler Brock Lesnar has been unexpectedly removed from the popular mobile game WWE SuperCard. This decision comes in the wake of a lawsuit filed against former WWE CEO Vince McMahon, which has brought to light allegations of abusive behavior, including sexual assault and sex trafficking. McMahon has denied these allegations.
The lawsuit, initiated by ex-WWE employee Janel Grant, does not name Lesnar directly but includes references to a "former UFC and WWE Champion" implicated in the accusations, a description that fits Brock Lesnar. Lesnar, known for his formidable presence in both the WWE and UFC arenas, has become a controversial figure overnight, leading to his removal from the game. WWE SuperCard, a game that engages players in Top Trumps-style battles using stats from various wrestling cards, has seen all Lesnar cards rendered unusable in any game mode.
This incident has further complicated matters for 2K, the game's developer, especially considering Lesnar's recent feature on the cover of the special edition of WWE 2K24. This edition, celebrating 40 years of WrestleMania, showcases Lesnar alongside other wrestling legends like John Cena and The Undertaker. Despite the controversy, Lesnar's participation in WWE 2K24, particularly in a mode celebrating his historic match with The Undertaker at WrestleMania 30, remains unconfirmed.
The timing of Lesnar's removal from WWE SuperCard coincides with his absence from the recent Royal Rumble event, an absence now attributed to the ongoing lawsuit. As the wrestling and gaming communities await further developments, the situation raises questions about the future portrayal of Brock Lesnar in WWE-themed games and the broader implications for WWE's image.
