As fans of the *WWE 2K* series are aware, Brock Lesnar was taken out of *WWE 2K24* as a playable character and removed from the cover of the Forty Years of WrestleMania edition. Although never officially stated, many believe this change happened because Brock Lesnar was named in a lawsuit filed in January 2024 by a former WWE employee, Janel Grant, against WWE and Vince McMahon. McMahon was also largely removed from the game. It’s important to note that Lesnar himself isn’t named as a defendant in the lawsuit. Recently, Lesnar returned to wrestling, defeating John Cena in a tough match at WWE Wrestlepalooza, where he used his signature F5 move multiple times.

While it doesn’t completely unbalance the game, its unique damage type and ability to improve with your character’s progress make it a strong addition to nearly any playstyle.
