Daniel Cormier Claims Brock Lesnar Is On A “Banned List” in WWE

A recent episode of the Mightycast with Demetrious Johnson podcast featured UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Cormier’s thoughts about why a MMA fight between him and Brock Lesnar never took place during their MMA careers.

“Brock played us. Brock played us, bro. Brock came with the idea, he always has an open door because he is such a big star. I was on a Brock Lesnar card at UFC 200. I fought Anderson (Silva). Sold 1.4 million pay-per-views. Brock actually came and WWE paid him more to stay. They paid him more to stay. We danced the dance for a while. It could have been Brock and I when I fought Derrick Lewis in New York. They paid him so much to stay. He was such a big star there that he could make money to go do that and do nothing but suplex, or fight me in an Octagon and I’m going to try and kill him. He made the best choice.”

Cormier also gave his thoughts about why a potential pro wrestling match between him and Lesnar in WWE is unlikely to happen in the future due to Lesnar currently being on a “banned list.”

“Brock is on the banned list right now. Brock got into so much trouble. I ain’t telling you on air what Brock did. Brock is in so much trouble.”

Cormier did not provide any other details regarding this “banned list” or the reason why Lesnar is on it. Lesnar has been absent from WWE since the SummerSlam 2023 event in August of 2023 due to his involvement in the current Vince McMahon sex trafficking lawsuit.
