Brock Lesnar announces retirement from professional wrestling

By Newsdesk August 5, 2026 Sports

STAMFORD, Conn.: WWE legend Brock Lesnar has announced his retirement from professional wrestling at the age of 49, bringing an end to one of the most decorated careers in sports entertainment.

Lesnar made the announcement during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, days after losing to Oba Femi in the WWE SummerSlam: Hell in a Cell match. Following the defeat, Lesnar praised Femi as “the future of WWE.”

“I came here today to tell the world and everyone that I am retired,” Lesnar said, thanking fans for their support throughout his career.

The former WWE and UFC heavyweight champion said he plans to focus on his family and support his children in pursuing their athletic careers.

Lesnar had previously hinted at retirement after his loss to Oba Femi by leaving his boots and cap in the ring, a symbolic gesture often associated with retirement in professional wrestling. His announcement has prompted an outpouring of tributes from wrestling fans.
