Brock Lesnar was initially scheduled to return at the Royal Rumble on Saturday night, but plans were changed following Lesnar’s connection to the lawsuit filed by Janel Grant.
While not named in the lawsuit, Lesnar is referred to as “a world-famous athlete and former UFC heavyweight champion with whom WWE was actively trying to sign a new contract,” and was later identified as Lesnar by the Wall Street Journal.
The lawsuit alleges that Vince McMahon used Ms. Grant as a sexual pawn to keep Lesnar under contract with WWE.
Lesnar was eliminated from the Royal Rumble, although it was never announced in advance, and replaced by Bron Breakker according to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
Breakker had four eliminations before being thrown out of the ring by Dominik Mysterio.
A source with knowledge of upcoming creative plans informed POST Wrestling that Lesnar was going to work with Dominik at the Elimination Chamber event on February 24 in Perth, Western Australia. A second source confirmed this plan to us.
Breakker spoke to Cathy Kelley after her Royal Rumble appearance and stated, “This is my home now” when referring to the main roster.
It is unknown if Breakker will take over the program that Lesnar had with Dominik Mysterio.
