Two-division UFC Champion claims WWE star Brock Lesnar is on "banned list"

The Beast Incarnate has been absent from WWE for a very long time!

‘The Beast Incarnate’ Brock Lesnar has been absent from WWE television for a very long time. Lesnar’s last WWE appearance came during the 2023 edition of SummerSlam, where he suffered defeat at the hands of Cody Rhodes.

The former WWE and UFC Champion was first indirectly mentioned, and later explicitly named, in Janel Grant’s lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE, a development that triggered significant consequences for Lesnar.

While many fans have been speculating about his return and are hoping they might see the Beast Incarnate back inside the squared circle once the lawsuit is settled. It seems like a far fetched idea especialy after Daniel Cormier claims.

Daniel Cormier claims that Brock Lesnar is on a “banned” list

In a recent conversation with a fellow UFC veteran, Demetrious Johnson on his podcast, Mightycast, former two-division UFC Champion Daniel Cormier dropped a bombshell claiming that Lesnar is on TKO’s banned list. TKO is the parent company of WWE and UFC.

“I mean, Brock is on a banned list right now. Brock got into so much trouble…I ain’t telling you on air what Brock did. Brock is in so much trouble.”

The bigger picture

Notably, Cormier didn’t clarify whether the supposed “banned list” is managed by WWE or its parent company, TKO. Either way, a return to the ring for Brock Lesnar doesn’t appear likely in the near future.

What’s also interesting about DC’s comments is that TKO Group Holdings under Endeavor reportedly going out of its way to put Lesnar on the “ban” list across two organizations in completely different industries. That alone underscores the gravity of the accusations he’s currently facing.

Lesnar was scheduled to make his return at the 2024 Royal Rumble PLE as a participant in the men’s Royal Rumble match.  However, he was removed from the event due to the lawsuit. Lesnar was replaced by Bron Breakker in the 2024 Royal Rumble and was subsequently removed from WWE’s creative plans for WrestleMania XL.
