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.

Dwayne Johnson cited by police over window tint violation

Dwayne Johnson

LOS ANGELES: WWE legend and Hollywood actor Dwayne Johnson was reportedly issued a citation by police in Los Angeles after a minor legal violation following his attendance at a Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony.

According to international media reports, the incident took place when Johnson was returning from the event, where he was stopped by law enforcement over allegedly tinted car windows.

Authorities stated that the vehicle was flagged due to violation of California’s strict window tint regulations.

In the state of California, front-side windows must allow at least 70 percent light transparency, while rear windows may be tinted under specific conditions. Windshields are permitted only limited tinting along the top section.

Officials further explained that first-time violations typically result in a fine of around $25 along with instructions to correct the issue, while repeat offenses can lead to penalties of up to $200 and formal citations.

Johnson, who had attended a Hollywood Walk of Fame event earlier in the day, reportedly cooperated fully with the officers during the stop.
