New York: After recent retirements of top WWE stars like John Cena (December 2025) and AJ Styles (February 2026), another legendary name appears to have stepped away from professional wrestling.
Brock Lesnar, one of WWE’s most dominant figures, seemingly bid farewell after what is believed to be his final appearance at WrestleMania 42.
Lesnar, who has been associated with WWE since 2002, faced rising star Oba Femi in the opening match of the event’s second night, where he suffered defeat.
In a symbolic gesture widely associated with retirement, Lesnar left his wrestling gear in the ring after the match, signaling the end of his illustrious career.
The emotional moment continued as Lesnar embraced his long-time manager Paul Heyman, while fans chanted “Thank you, Brock.” Before leaving, he also kissed the ring floor, reinforcing speculation that this was his final match.
Lesnar first joined WWE in 2002, briefly left in 2004, and later returned to become one of the sport’s most decorated superstars.
His achievements include multiple WWE Championship titles, three Universal Championships, and two Royal Rumble victories.
One of his most iconic moments came in 2014, when he defeated The Undertaker at WrestleMania, ending the legend’s historic 21-match unbeaten streak at the event.
