Brock Lesnar Named in Janel Grant’s Lawsuit: How This Shocking Development Could Impact Royal Rumble 2025

According to recent reports, Brock Lesnar has been officially named in Janel Grant’s amended lawsuit against Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis, and WWE. This development emerged just ahead of the 2025 Royal Rumble, set to take place on February 1. Following the news, many wrestling fans voiced their disappointment, as Lesnar was rumored to be a participant in the 2025 Men's Royal Rumble match. His inclusion would have made for an exciting addition to this year’s event, but with his name now officially linked to the lawsuit, his involvement seems highly unlikely.

Grant’s legal team issued a press release stating that a motion had been filed to amend the lawsuit, incorporating new evidence, including screenshots of text messages that further support her allegations against McMahon. The proposed amended complaint, attached to the motion, contains previously unreleased text and voice messages from McMahon and sheds new light on how he allegedly coerced Grant into sexual acts through her employment at WWE.
“Ms. Grant’s amended complaint reveals new details that further demonstrate the sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis and pulls back the curtain on the dangerous workplace culture McMahon created at WWE,” said Ann Callis, attorney for Janel Grant. “Ms. Grant looks forward to holding her abusers accountable in a court of law.”
Meanwhile, speculation had been mounting about Brock Lesnar’s potential return at the 2025 Men's Royal Rumble, with fans anticipating that he could shock the world by sending his opponents to Suplex City. However, his chances of participating in this year’s match have significantly diminished, as his name has now been officially mentioned in the Janel Grant case.

Despite his involvement in the lawsuit, some fans continue to believe in his innocence. Reactions on X include comments such as, "Doesn’t seem to be anything incriminating towards him in the statement that mentions his name." "he’s innocent."
Meanwhile, fans continue to hope for Brock Lesnar’s return in the 2025 Men's Royal Rumble match. If he makes a comeback despite all the controversies, this year’s event is set to be electrifying. With anticipation running high, fans are eagerly following the latest updates, including rumors, spoilers, and predictions for Royal Rumble 2025.
