Brock Lesnar, a prominent figure in both combat sports and professional wrestling for over two decades, is reportedly facing significant career setbacks. According to former UFC champion Daniel Cormier, who spoke during an episode of MightyCast, Lesnar is currently banned from professional wrestling. Cormier declined to specify the reasons behind this ban but emphasized that Lesnar is in “so much trouble.”
Speculation suggests that this ban could be related to ongoing legal issues, including a sexual assault and trafficking lawsuit involving former WWE executive Vince McMahon. Publicly disclosed text messages reportedly linked to Lesnar have fueled concerns regarding his association with the case. The situation escalated following allegations from former WWE employee Janel Grant, who accused McMahon of coercing her into a relationship that led to her trafficking to Lesnar and another former WWE executive, John Laurinaitis, between 2020 and 2021.
Due to the severity of the allegations, WWE has distanced itself from Lesnar, removing him from programming and promotional materials over the past year and a half. However, there remain questions regarding the validity of Cormier’s claims about Lesnar being banned from all of professional wrestling, as that designation encompasses a diverse array of promotions beyond just WWE.
In the meantime, Lesnar has been quite supportive of his daughter Mya, who is making strides as a collegiate shot-put athlete. This focus on family may serve as a positive distraction for Lesnar and a way to stay out of the public spotlight while legal proceedings unfold.
The situation highlights how quickly the landscape in professional sports can change, particularly when legal issues arise. While Lesnar’s immediate future in the wrestling world seems uncertain, his role as a father and support for his daughter’s athletic endeavors could provide some solace during these turbulent times.
