Reported plans for Brock Lesnar.
According to John Pollock of POST Wrestling, Brock Lesnar was originally slated to work with Dominik Mysterio at WWE Elimination Chamber.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer reports that Bron Breakker got Lesnar's spot in the Royal Rumble. Breakker had four eliminations, but was eliminated by Dominik.
Lesnar was never advertised for the Royal Rumble, but he was reportedly set to return to television at the event.
On Thursday, a lawsuit was filed by Janel Grant against Vince McMahon, WWE and former executive John Laurinaitis. The lawsuit accuses McMahon of sex trafficking, emotional abuse, and sexual assault.
Lesnar was never named in the lawsuit, but there is a reference to “a world-famous athlete and former UFC Heavyweight Champion with whom WWE was actively trying to sign to a new contract." The lawsuit alleges that Vince McMahon used Ms. Grant in a sexual manner to keep the athlete under contract with WWE.
It is unknown if Breakker will work with Mysterio at WWE Elimination Chamber. Breakker called the WWE main roster "his home" after the Royal Rumble debut.
Triple H was asked about the lawsuit during the Royal Rumble press conference, but chose to focus on the positives of the week. You can read his full comments by clicking here.
