Brock Lesnar, a huge star on the WWE roster, may not make an appearance in this year’s game. Following suspicions that he is linked to the latest lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE, Lesnar, and McMahon are not included on 2K24’s roster list.
Lesnar was initially set to appear in WWE 2K24’s 40 Years of Wrestlemania edition and was prominently featured on the artwork for this digital-only version, however, he has since been deleted from the cover image. It’s unknown whether he will continue to participate in the mode.
Another huge name announced for the roster is CM Punk, who returned to the promotion late last year. The former WWE Champion will be available as a downloadable character in the ECW Punk pack on May 15.
