WWE has replaced Brock Lesnar in the official ‘Then, Now, Forever, Together’ intro video that airs before every show.
On January 25, a lawsuit was filed hitting Vince McMahon with allegations of sexual trafficking, abuse and more.
Throughout the lawsuit, there were also several unnamed parties, including one who was referred to as “WWE Superstar” who was involved in the alleged situation.
WWE Superstar was described as someone who was a former UFC Heavyweight Champion and was negotiating with WWE at the time that alleged events occurred.
While it’s very important to express that Brock Lesnar was at no point named in the lawsuit, the Wall Street Journal reported that the person being referred to as WWE Superstar was Lesnar.
This reportedly led to WWE pulling Lesnar from creative plans, including the Royal Rumble match on January 27, and WrestleMania at the start of April.
Now, WWE has removed a brief shot of Lesnar from its intro video and replaced it with one of LA Knight, as you can see in the images below.
This was actually done as far back as the January 30 episode of NXT.
On February 6, the official gameplay trailer for the WWE 2K24 video game was released, and showed a new version of the cover for the ’40 Years of WrestleMania’ edition with Lesnar removed after having featured on the original.
It’s unknown if he’ll be removed from the game entirely, but it’s been reported that attempts have been made to see if Lesnar and Vince McMahon can be removed.
As of this writing on Feburary 10, Lesnar is still listed as a current ‘Superstar’ on WWE.com’s official roster page – Vince McMahon’s profile on the same page was removed from public viewing on January 26.
