WWE continues to separate itself from Brock Lesnar.

New footage of WWE 2K24 was released on Tuesday and many fans noticed that Lesnar had been removed from promotional materials related to the upcoming video game. Lesnar had appeared on the cover of the "40 Years of WrestleMania" edition but appears to have been replaced with a larger image of John Cena.

Wrestling video game site TheSmackDownHotel posted before and after images of the special edition cover.

It's not clear if Lesnar will be removed from the game itself as well. It is scheduled to be released on March 5 for pre-orders and March 8 after that.

Lesnar's removal from the cover is the latest in a series of moves by WWE to distance the company from him following allegations related to Janel Grant's lawsuit against WWE, Vince McMahon, and John Lauriniatis.

He was completely removed from 2K's Supercard mobile game and his merchandise at WWEShop.com has been discounted. Lesnar's bio still appears on WWE.com, however, Vince McMahon's has been removed.
