The former MMA fighter and football player Brock Lesnar is one of the absolute superstars of the WWE. However, the chicken will probably no longer be seen on the cover of the upcoming wrestling game WWE 2K24.
What is the current situation in WWE? In January 2024, serious allegations against the then head of WWE, Vince McMahon, became known. Former employee Janel Grant accused him of sexually assaultive behavior. McMahon is also said to have attempted to arrange sexual contact between her and WWE officials and wrestlers. McMahon resigned after the allegations became known.
The lawsuit also mentions a “former UFC champion” who is not named. According to reports, it is said to be wrestling superstar Brock Lesnar. There is no official confirmation yet.
However, attentive fans now noticed that Lesnar is no longer on the cover of the “40 Years of Wrestlemania” edition of the upcoming wrestling game 2K24 in the latest gameplay trailer from February 6, 2024. Instead, John Cena has been moved into his spot and Triple H and Shawn Michaels have also been moved around to fill the void.

What kind of game is this anyway? WWE 2K24 is the upcoming 24th edition of the famous wrestling game. The standard edition is scheduled to be released on March 8, 2024 and features wrestler Cody Rhodes prominently on the cover.
Instead, the special “40 Years of Wrestlemania” edition features a compilation of some of WWE’s biggest stars. It is scheduled to appear on March 5, 2024. All editions appear for PC, Xbox and PlayStation.
What does this mean for the wrestler? It is still unclear whether the change to the cover also means that Brock Lesnar will be removed from the game entirely. The wrestler’s digital likeness had previously been removed from the mobile game “WWE Supercard”.
The wrestler’s last ring appearance was also a while ago. Lesnar is actually one of the absolute superstars in the WWE. The 130-pound MMA fighter broke the infamous Undertaker’s legendary Wrestlemania streak and is a 10-time world champion.
However, at the moment everything indicates that he will not be getting back in the ring any time soon.
