Vince McMahon made headlines in a huge way, as a new lawsuit surfaced that was full of horrible allegations. WWE is days away from the Royal Rumble event, and despite plans in place, the card and booking is always subject to change.
Huge Royal Rumble Surprise May Change
It was recently reported that Brock Lesnar is returning to WWE television very soon. With the Royal Rumble coming up, that brings a natural idea that he may re-emerge at Tropicana Field.
Sean Ross Sapp has now reported on Fightful Select to confirm that Brock Lesnar is expected for the January 27th pay-per-view event. Everything is subject to change, but Lesnar is slated to be at the Royal Rumble.
That being said, Lesnar was slated for a return prior to the recent Vince McMahon lawsuit. The former Universal Champion’s name was brought into the controversy, and that may force a change for things.
This week, Fightful learned that Royal Rumble was originally discussed as a potential target. This was reiterated to Fightful Thursday, but it was noted that in light of Lesnar’s implied inclusion in the Vince McMahon lawsuit, that may change.
Numerous Royal Rumble surprises are anticipated, with one having the potential to undergo changes for evident reasons. You may find a few more expected spoiler returns here.
Brock Lesnar’s Involvement in Vince McMahon Lawsuit
The recent lawsuit against Vince McMahon did not specifically name Brock Lesnar, but it was very heavily implied that the Beast Incarnate was involved in some way. The lawsuit noted that a former UFC Heavyweight Champion under WWE contract wanted to “play” with the victim as part of his contract renewal.
In March 2020, McMahon began sharing sexually explicit photographs and videos of Ms. Grant (including pornographic content he recorded) with other men both inside and outside the company, including with members of the television production “tech” team, executive(s), 4 producer(s), and a world-famous athlete and former UFC Heavyweight Champion with whom WWE was actively trying to sign to a new contract (and ultimately did sign that contract).
Reactions to Vince McMahon Allegations
TKO Group Holdings already stated that they plan to take action internally regarding this matter. This is in spite of the fact that these allegations took place prior to Endeavor’s takeover.
Vince McMahon’s camp has released a statement of outright denial. It seems that McMahon is going to fight these allegations.
With the Royal Rumble coming up on Saturday, and so much going on in WWE, it’s easy to see that this will be a very busy weekend for everyone involved. SE Scoops will have continued coverage for more breaking news concerning Vince McMahon’s latest controversy as well.
