As previously reported, WWE legend Brock Lesnar, known as "The Beast Incarnate," lost to "The Ruler" Oba Femi on the second night of WrestleMania 42. After the match, Lesnar appeared to signal his retirement by leaving his boots and gloves in the ring before departing emotionally with WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman.
There has been much speculation regarding the legitimacy of Lesnar’s retirement, with some fans even suggesting that it may be part of a storyline. WWE seems to be downplaying these speculations, as Lesnar's name has been moved to the Alumni section of the roster on the official website.
WWE has portrayed Lesnar’s retirement as seemingly legitimate on television, although they have not explicitly used the term "retired" for him. They aired a career retrospective video for Lesnar on both RAW and SmackDown following WrestleMania and have not referenced him much since.
