Numerous reports have indicated that Brock Lesnar is out of the creative picture following the Vince McMahon lawsuit.

Writing in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer writes:

“Lesnar was to challenge Gunther at WrestleMania, and to face Dominik Mysterio, who was to throw him out, as one of the featured matches at Elimination Chamber. It was not confirmed to us that Breakker would now face Gunther and Mysterio on those shows, but he did the face-off hot spot with Gunther that Lesnar was scheduled to do, and was thrown out by Mysterio for heat…”

“There are no plans at this time to use Lesnar. Given his star power, saying this is forever is probably foolish. But it’s likely not going to be any time soon. Lesnar has been the company’s first or second highest paid wrestler and one of its most protected stars for the past dozen years, and the fact he’s out of WrestleMania and his future is in jeopardy is amazing because of how little attention it’s gotten. Lesnar was also pulled from the WWE 2K Supercard Digital Collectible Game online.”

We will keep you posted on the latest creative direction for WrestleMania 40.
