The WrestleMania 40 season is about to get kicked off via the upcoming Royal Rumble WWE premium live event scheduled for this weekend where Brock Lesnar was supposed to be an integral part given his marquee status within the company.

After staying away from WWE TV since the SummerSlam Premium Live Event, where he squared off against Cody Rhodes, Lesnar was reportedly set for a comeback to be a part of the Show of Shows set for April.

However, his return might not be imminently happening after a new lawsuit concerning Vince McMahon has been filed, where the latter faced trafficking allegations. Lesnar was somehow indirectly addressed as a top WWE Superstar.

As accused by former WWE employee Janel Grant, McMahon had to face a lot of allegations including him sharing explicit content of her without consent with other WWE employees, unnamed executives, and stars.

According to the reports of Wall Street Journal, the suit alleges that McMahon instructed Janel Grant to create personalized compromised content for a particular WWE superstar, described as a UFC fighter who was also under contract with the WWE.

While the suit never mentioned the exact name of the WWE Superstar, he was allegedly identified by sources as Brock Lesnar. Multiple other stories were also revealed regarding McMahon and his favorite WWE talent at that time leading both to hot water.

Consequently, ProWrestlingScoops reports that WWE's creative team has been told to stop coming up with creative plans for Brock and is also looking for his replacement in the Men's Royal Rumble match.

This comes after a report from Fightful Select, informed that discussions were on about the return of Brock Lesnar to WWE television. In fact, Royal Rumble was initially considered the event where he will show up but that's no longer the case.

The Beast Incarnate has always been in a position to his schedule in the WWE. But with these allegations and now that McMahon is no longer part of the creative team, things could be changing for him in the company.
