Brock Lesnar On WWE's 'Ban List' After Scandal? Major Details Emerge
Major details have emerged on the status of Brock Lesnar after UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier's comments on the WWE superstar caused a massive stir. Cormier appeared on the Demetrious Johnson's podcast and said that Brock is currently on WWE's 'Ban List' following the massive sex-trafficking scandal that also involved Vince McMahon. Lesnar has not appeared on WWE TV for a very long time and although reports emerged about his possible return, nothing has come to fruition. In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, journalist Dave Meltzer revealed that Lesnar's absence was a direct result of the lawsuit and it was a decision taken by the WWE Legal. 'There is nothing new on the Lesnar front,' Meltzer wrote. 'WWE legal made the call at the time Janel Grant filed her lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE to not allow Lesnar to be used.' The lawsuit brought WWE under the scanner once again and Meltzer revealed that although Brock was scheduled to return at Royal Rumble 2024, all the plans were scrapped. 'He was pulled from the 2024 Royal Rumble at the last minute after it had been scripted and Breakker was called into the Rumble to take his spot,' Meltzer wrote. The report further claimed that following the Royal Rumble appearance, he was supposed to start a program with Gunther. There were also plans that involved Dominik Mysterio. 'The plan was for him to then beat Dominik Mysterio on a PPV and face Gunther at Mania.' However, Meltzer made it clear that the plans regarding Brock Lesnar have not changed. 'Nothing has changed and the situation remains the same. There is nothing other than that,' he wrote.

In fact, Lesnar hasn't appeared on WWE programming since his loss to Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam 2023. He has been scrubbed from WWE marketing material, future events, and even casual mention by the promotion itself. A source close to the company told multiple outlets that Lesnar is being treated as "radioactive" amid ongoing legal uncertainty. Will Brock Lesnar return to WWE?

Fans shared photos of the 46-year-old taking selfies outside a restaurant, his shredded physique sparking whispers of a potential comeback.

Still, without a clear path forward and no statement from either WWE or TKO, Lesnar's future remains up in the air.

UFC legend reveals Brock Lesnar's ‘banned' WWE status
The post UFC legend reveals Brock Lesnar's 'banned' WWE status appeared first on ClutchPoints. According to former UFC Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier, WWE star Brock Lesnar is on the 'banned list' amid his indefinite hiatus. If this is true, this could spell the end of Lesnar's professional wrestling career. During an interview on the MIghycast podcast, Cormier debunked the idea of facing Lesnar in WWE (1:13:00 mark). He claimed Lesnar was on a 'banned list,' though he didn't specify if it was from WWE, UFC, or their parent company, TKO. 'I mean, Brock is on the banned list right now,' Cormier revealed. 'Brock got into so much trouble… I ain't telling you on-air what Brock did, [but] Brock is in so much trouble.' That makes it sound like Lesnar will not be coming back to WWE anytime soon. Whether he is 'banned' from WWE or TKO altogether, it does not look good for him. Why is WWE star Brock Lesnar on the 'banned list'? Lesnar has not been seen in WWE since August 2023. He faced Cody Rhodes in the rubber match of their feud at SummerSlam. Afterward, he raised Rhodes' arm, seemingly passing the torch to the 'American Nightmare.' While he was supposed to return at the Royal Rumble in January 2024, Lesnar was pulled from his plans. This was due to a former WWE employee, Janel Grant, filing a lawsuit against Vince McMahon. Initially, Lesnar was not specifically named in the lawsuit. However, it was heavily implied that he was involved, as McMahon tried to traffic Grant to Lesnar during his contract negotiations to return to WWE in 2021. Later, in February 2025, Lesnar was officially named in the lawsuit. WWE and TKO have continued to withhold Lesnar from returning to the ring. It is unclear if he will ever get back in the squared circle. It would almost be a surprise at this point. Since coming back to wrestling in 2021, Lesnar has predominantly been a babyface. This was a drastic change from his previous tenures, during which he usually played the heel. Lesnar feuded with Roman Reigns over the Universal Championship upon his return. Their longstanding feud culminated at the 2022 SummerSlam event. After that, he had matches with Bobby Lashley, Omos, and Rhodes.

'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.

49ers' Drew Moss, Mya Lesnar hard-launch relationship: ‘Forever wedding date'
This is quite the power couple. 49ers offensive lineman Drew Moss and Mya Lesnar, the daughter of WWE star Brock Lesnar, hard-launched a relationship after Moss shared an Instagram post of the two of them last week. 'Forever wedding date,' Moss captioned the post of the two attending a wedding together. 'My handsome man,' Lesnar, who attended Colorado State like Moss, commented. The 22-year-old Moss joined the 49ers this offseason as an undrafted free agent. The 6-foot-3, 303-pound lineman spent two seasons at Colorado State after transferring to the Rams from Lamar University. At Lamar, Moss started all 22 of his career games in 2021-22. Upon joining Colorado State in 2023, Moss started all 12 games at offensive guard as a junior. He was an important piece of an offensive line that helped the Rams average nearly 400 yards per game and allowed just 14 sacks on the season. In his senior year, he started all 13 contests and helped the offensive line bring down the already impressive low sack count to just 10 on the season. Colorado State offensive lineman Drew Moss looks to make a block during the Rams' loss to Miami Ohio in the Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl. USA TODAY Sports via Reuters Con The offensive line also paved the way for the program's first 1,000-yard rusher since 2017. Moss earned All-Mountain West Second Team honors in his final year and was an honorable mention his junior season. As for Lesnar, her time at Colorado State was highlighted by becoming the 2024 NCAA indoor shot put national champion. Mya Lesnar of Colorado State wins the women's shot put at 62-4 1/2 (19.01m) during the NCAA Track and Field Championships at Hayward Field. Kirby Lee-Imagn Images She was also named the 2024 Mountain West Female Athlete of the Year. Lesnar has since joined the Diamond League for track and field. She competed at the 2025 Prefontaine Classic in July, where she finished 10th in shot put. Her father is well known as a former WWE champion, UFC heavyweight champion, and NCAA Division I heavyweight wrestling champion
