Brock Lesnar’s highly anticipated return to the WWE at the Royal Rumble was put on hold due to unforeseen legal complications stemming from his involvement in a lawsuit filed by Janel Grant. Although Lesnar wasn’t directly implicated in the lawsuit, his association with WWE and the allegations against Vince McMahon led to a change in plans for the event.
Initially slated to make a surprise appearance at the Royal Rumble, Lesnar’s spot in the lineup was unexpectedly filled by Bron Breakker. Despite not being advertised beforehand, Breakker quickly made a name for himself with an impressive showing in the ring. However, his journey in the Rumble was cut short when he was eliminated by Dominik Mysterio.
Sources familiar with WWE’s creative plans revealed that Lesnar had been lined up to face Dominik Mysterio at the Elimination Chamber event scheduled for February 24 in Perth, Western Australia. This matchup was intended to be a highlight of the event, showcasing Lesnar’s return to action after his absence from the ring.
With Lesnar’s absence due to legal issues, there is now uncertainty surrounding the planned storyline involving him and Dominik Mysterio. Fans are eagerly awaiting updates on the situation and speculating about the potential implications for both superstars.
Breakker, meanwhile, took the opportunity at the Royal Rumble to make a bold statement, declaring his commitment to the WWE main roster in a post-match interview with Cathy Kelley. His impressive performance and confident demeanor have sparked discussions among fans about his future prospects and potential rise in the WWE ranks.
As the WWE navigates through these unexpected developments, the wrestling world remains abuzz with speculation and anticipation for what lies ahead for both Lesnar and Breakker in the coming months.
