Below are a couple of top WWE & AEW news stories of the day, including an update on Brock Lesnar.
• WWE is further distancing themselves from Brock Lesnar due to his association with a $ex trafficking lawsuit against Vince McMahon.
Plans involving Lesnar at major events like the Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, and WrestleMania 40 have already been canceled.
He’s been removed from the WWE 2K Supercard mobile game and his merch is being sold at a discounted rate on WWE Shop, so they can clear it out.

Brock was also taken off the cover of WWE 2K24 Forty Years of WrestleMania edition.
In an update, The Beast has now been removed from WWE’s TV show intro. This change was noticed on last night’s SmackDown. He has been replaced with LA Knight.
