Brock Lesnar, once the most dominant force in both WWE and UFC, now finds himself in an unthinkable position. He has been sidelined, silent, and reportedly banned from professional wrestling altogether.
As per reports, WWE is distancing itself from Lesnar. Additionally, insiders are dropping cryptic but serious comments, which have extended the speculation. Now the question remains, is this the end of The Beast Incarnate's career?
Daniel Cormier reveals that Brock Lesnar is banned from TKO
Daniel Cormier has recently shared up update on Brock Lesnar that put the wrestling world in a frenzy. On The MightyCast with Demetrious Johnson, the former UFC Heavyweight Champion revealed that Brock Lesnar is currently blacklisted from professional wrestling.
Though Cormier declined to elaborate, his tone left little room for doubt.
'Brock is on the banned list right now,' he said. 'Brock got into so much trouble. You know what Brock did. I ain't telling you on air what Brock did. Brock is in so much trouble.'

Though Lesnar's name was initially listed in the documents and later removed, his association with the case has had lasting consequences.
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?
While Lesnar has avoided the spotlight, he was recently spotted in public, looking fitter than ever. Fans shared photos of the 46-year-old taking selfies outside a restaurant, his shredded physique sparking whispers of a potential comeback. When asked about returning to WWE, he reportedly offered a vague reply: 'We'll see.'
Still, without a clear path forward and no statement from either WWE or TKO, Lesnar's future remains up in the air.
Though Cormier's knowledge of WWE's internal decisions can be debated, the weight of his comments can't be dismissed lightly, especially when paired with the company's decision to effectively erase Lesnar from its present and near-future plans.
For now, Lesnar's focus seems to be on family. While The Beast may be lying low, fans and critics alike are left wondering, has the final bell already tolled for Brock Lesnar? So far, it's hard to tell.
Still, many fans would want to see The Beast making his WWE return with a surprise, especially as a worthy opponent of John Cena in his retirement tour. But as for the current situation, at least, according to Cormier, it is far-fetched.
