Brock Lesnar, one of the most popular wrestlers and UFC fighters, has been added to a "banned list", former UFC heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier has claimed.
A possible inclusion could mean the end of Lesnar’s wrestling career.
In an interview, Daniel Cormier dismissed the idea that he might face Brock Lesnar in WWE. Instead, he revealed that Lesnar is currently on a banned list. However, Cormier did not explain whether this ban was from WWE, UFC, or their parent company, TKO Group.
For context, UFC and WWE are now under one parent company called TKO, which was formed after UFC’s merger with WWE.
Cormier added, “Brock is on the banned list right now. He’s in serious trouble. I can’t say exactly what he did, but it’s bad.”
Lesnar’s return to WWE looks difficult. Whether the ban came from WWE or TKO, it’s likely to affect his future in wrestling.
Brock Lesnar was last seen in a WWE ring in August 2023, when he faced Cody Rhodes at the SummerSlam event.
Many fans expected him to return in January 2024 during the Royal Rumble. However, that didn’t happen. Around that time, Janel Grant, a former WWE employee, filed a lawsuit against former WWE chairman Vince McMahon.
At first, Lesnar’s name wasn’t mentioned in the case. But it was widely believed that he was involved. In February 2025, his name was officially included in the lawsuit.
Since then, WWE and TKO reportedly dropped plans for Brock Lesnar’s return.
