Lesnar is a seven-time WWE champion and has featured in every entry in 2K’s franchise of WWE games since 2011. But he’s currently on hiatus from the WWE roster in the real world following recent allegations, leading to uncertainty about his appearance in the next WWE game.

We now have an official answer as to whether Brock Lesnar is in WWE 2K24. Read on to find out more.

No, Brock Lesnar is not a fully playable superstar in WWE 2K24 and isn’t included in the roster. But you can play as Brock Lesnar in Showcase mode in WrestleMania XXX against The Undertaker, where Lesnar famously ended Undertaker’s undefeated WrestleMania streak, and Lesnar also appears as an opponent in WrestleMania 31, where you play as Roman Reigns.

Lesnar’s absence in WWE 2K24 was a major talking point among fans ahead of the full roster reveal. The signs were on the wall for the former UFC star after he was removed from 2K’s mobile game, WWE Supercard, and was quietly removed from the cover of the 40 Years of Wrestlemania edition.

Given Lesnar’s WWE history and his previous inclusion on the cover art for the game, he was likely planned for the WWE 2K24 roster. But a change was made after he was implicated in the recent allegations against WWE founder Vince McMahon, who is also absent from the title.

Allegations against McMahon include sexual trafficking and a lawsuit from former WWE employee Janel Grant, who alleges McMahon shared explicit content of her without consent. According to the Wall Street Journal, in July 2021, McMahon instructed Grant to create personalized sexual content for a WWE superstar, named by WSJ as Lesnar.

WWE has not commented on Lesnar, who last appeared in August 2023 when he lost to Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam. Fans expected him to return during Royal Rumble in January, ahead of Wrestlemania later this year, but the allegations against McMahon that implicated Lesnar seemingly changed the plans.
