Brock Lesnar On WWE's 'Ban List' After Scandal? Major Details Emerge
'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.

The WWE Hall of Famer's former wife has stirred controversy this time by posting a controversial video of their daughter, who wants nothing to do with the family or her father's funeral. On July 28, Linda took to Facebook and shared a short clip of Brooke falsely claiming that she wouldn't attend Hulk Hogan's funeral due to past trauma. The video was shocking, with Brooke supposedly accusing both of her parents of abuse, blasting her mother's behavior after the divorce, and disowning her father entirely.

Later, when I dated a black boyfriend, he attacked me with racist words.'

Brooke Hogan Turned Her Back on Hulk Hogan's $25M Fortune Before His Death: Report
Brooke Hogan and Hulk Hogan (Image Source: Getty) Brooke Hogan , daughter of WWE icon Hulk Hogan (real name Terry Gene Bollea), was said to have removed herself both from her father and his $25 million estate before his death last July 24, 2025. In 2023, sources said Brooke asked to be taken out of her father's will due to mistrust over the people managing his life and a desire to avoid a "legal mess" in the future, along with more bad blood within the family. Nonetheless, she is still set to inherit from a life‑insurance trust, the proceeds of which are intended for her children's education. Brooke Hogan's relationship with her father and decision to distance herself Hulk Hogan hadn't been in touch with daughter Brooke, who is currently 37 years old, for many years. She and brother Nick appeared in the reality TV franchise 'Hogan Knows Best' before their bond with dad fell apart around 2023. Brooke allegedly requested to be taken out of the will at that time, stating that she "didn't trust a single person around" him and wanted to shield herself and her dad from the fallout. However, she will get cash using a life‑insurance trust that she says will cover her twins' college expenses. Brooke previously referred to his soul in a lengthy Instagram tribute put together after her father's death, saying that their relationship "spans lifetimes" and that they were "fit together like puzzle pieces." She remembered being his 'life raft' and how she would check on his health, meager as it was, during the surgery and personal tragedies that ensued. But then her dynamic with him changed, and 'needed to do what was best for me, which, at the time, was to step away to protect my heart. ' Brooke Hogan calls out WWE for 'not extending invite' to tributes honoring late dad Hulk Hogan Brooke Hogan also made news when she deflected heat for not being present at WWE tribute events after her father died. Hulk Hogan was honored by WWE during live WWE Friday Night SmackDown and WWE Monday Night Raw broadcasts. Brooke was absent while her brother Nick was there, and she wrote in an Instagram Story on July 30 that '@WWE did not ask,' explaining that she faced criticism for not doing the tributes. Also Read: Who are Brooke and Nick Hogan? All about Hulk Hogan's kids She said her family relationships became distant not because of one public event but because of personal and emotional conversations. She insisted that the distance was not easy, but she had loved him courageously, and done everything she could to try to be better for him, but knew that stepping away from it all was the only way she could salvage her mind and heart.
