The lawsuit filed by Janel Grant against Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis has made a huge impact on WWE. Things took a turn for the worst when the allegations in the lawsuit were revealed, and McMahon was charged, along with Laurinaitis, for sxual harrasment, abuse, and trfficking, by the ex-employee of the company. Soon, Vince McMahon revealed that he was stepping down from his position as the Executive Chairman of TKO Holdings, the parent company that oversees WWE.
But it was not just McMahon or Laurinaitis who were named in the lawsuit. Another person – although not named – was also part of the legal lawsuit. A WWE wrestler who is a former UFC Heavyweight Champion was also referred to in the legal notice, whose contract is currently being negotiated. And though not named, people kind of found it easy to figure out that the lawsuit meant Brock Lesnar.

Brock Lesnar Gets Replaced by LA Knight
In a recent revelation, WWE’s opening intro saw some changes. TKO Group Holdings, who now oversees WWE, hasreplaced Lesnar from the opening video with LA Knight. This change comes after Janel Grant’s lawsuit naming a former UFC Heavyweight Champion. TKO is much different from its predecessor, and taking prompt actions before things can take a turn for the ugly.
Brock Lesnarallegedly asked Grant for a pee video and asked to have physical relations with her as part of his contract negotiations. In the lawsuit, Grant stated that she was, more often than not, used as a negotiating perk forwrestlers to sign with WWE by McMahon. Lesnar being replaced in the intro video does not bode well for the wrestler, whose future with the company seems bleak under the current circumstances.

Before the lawsuit upended WWE and Brock Lesnar’s career as a wrestler, he was set to face Dominik Mysterio at Elimination Chamber in Australia l, andGUNTHER at WrestleMania 40. Now, both these matches seem to be off the table, given Lesnar’s contract with WWE might not get renewed by TKO.
