'He Is In So Much Trouble': Daniel Cormier Reveals Brock Lesnar Is On Ban List
The 46-year-old former UFC champion revealed that the wrestler was in the doghouse, but held back from discussing the issue that merited Lesnar's place on the banned list
Former UFC Champion Daniel Cormier revealed that wrestling superstar Brock Lesnar has been on a ban list when quizzed if the two of them could be seen in the ring anytime soon.
Speaking on the 'Mightycats' podcast, the 46-year-old fighter held back from discussing the issue that merited Lesnar's place on the banned list and also fell short of mentioning if the ban was imposed by WWE or the parent company TKO.

'Brock is on the ban list right now," Cormier said.
'Dude, Brock got into so much trouble," he added.
'I ain't telling you on air what Brock did. Brock is in so much trouble," Cormier addressed the question.
While nothing has been revealed it is likely that Lesnar has been on the ban list following former WWE employee Janel Grant's lawsuit against Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis and WWE, in which Lesar was identified too. Reports suggest that McMahon had attempted to traffic Grant to Lesnar during negotiations over contract back in the year 2021.
Lesnar, who was pulled from the Royal Rumble roster amid the scandal, previously appeared on the WWE during his bout with Cody Rhodes in Summerslam 2023.
All plans and storylines the creative team had in mind for Lesnar would have to wait as the wrestler looks unlikely to get back int the ring before the legal proceedings have played out in the full.

Sydney Sweeney Unrecognisable As Boxer Christy Martin In First Look From Biopic ‘Christy'
Last Updated: Sydney Sweeney transforms into boxing legend Christy Martin for her upcoming biopic 'Christy', set to premiere at TIFF 2025. Sydney Sweeney is stepping into the ring—literally—for her most dramatic transformation yet. The Euphoria star is all set to portray legendary boxer Christy Martin in the upcoming biopic Christy, and the first official photo from the film is already creating waves. The image, released by Black Bear Pictures on July 21, shows Sweeney looking nearly unrecognisable with Christy Martin's signature dark curls, a muscular frame, and a boxer's fierce intensity. Wearing red gloves, long tassel shorts, a white tank top, and a mouthguard, Sweeney channels Martin's gritty energy in a boxing ring. The film is set to premiere at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) this September. Sweeney, who is known for her long blonde locks and glamorous red carpet appearances, underwent a stunning physical transformation for the role. In a June 2025 interview with W Magazine, she revealed that she gained over 30 pounds and trained rigorously to match Martin's powerful physique. 'I started eating. I weight-trained in the morning for an hour, kickboxed midday for about two hours, and then weight-trained again at night for an hour," she shared. 'My body was completely different. But it was amazing: I was so strong, like crazy strong." The biopic is directed by The King filmmaker David Michôd, who was reportedly stunned by Sweeney's commitment and transformation. Recalling a moment when he saw her again on the set of Euphoria season 3, he said, 'I was stunned by the change in her appearance. I had only seen her as an adorable, tough moppet with late-'80s hair, ready to box. Sydney was happiest when she was in the ring punching and being punched. It was shocking to see her being so glamorous." Sweeney first hinted at her role in Christy back in October 2024 by posting behind-the-scenes photos that showed off her bulked-up physique and ring training.

John Cena Reflects On Post-Attitude Era Challenge, Credits WWE's Revival To This Man
John Cena is arguably the most recognized name in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). However, before the rise of Cena, WWE had undergone challenging times in terms of its growth and popularity, particularly after the end of the Attitude Era. Then a part of WWF (World Wrestling Federation), the era, which existed in the late 1990s and early 2000s, featured stunning adult-oriented storylines, spearheaded by stars like "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, The Rock and Triple H. However, after the departures of Steve Austina and The Rock, WWE's popularity suffered a dip, before being resurrected by the likes of Cena and late wrestler Eddie Guerrero. Cena paid tribute to Guerrero in a recent fan interaction, highlighting the latter's role in bringing WWE back to the top. "WWE went through a boom in the Attitude Era and then all those guys, we fired Stone Cold. The Rock left, The Undertaker got hurt, we changed the name, the XFL failed. There was a lot of upside down stuff. We started SmackDown and it had Kurt Angle as its anchor, but we brought Eddie Guerrero and a bunch of (new guys) like Edge and me and a bunch of other new guys and people trying to find their way," John Cena said, speaking during the FAN EXPO in Denver. "Eddie was our champion for for a certain period of time. And he used to tell me that it is the night when the fewest people show up that you have to work 10 times as hard because the presence in that area isn't as strong," Cena further said, hailing Guerrero. The Attitude Era was followed by the toned-down Ruthless Aggression Era, where the likes of Eddie Guerrero played a leading role. Eventually, John Cena rose to popularity, taking advantage of the platform built by Guerrero and co.
