Brock Lesnar hasnt stepped inside a WWE ring since SummerSlam 2023, and while the company continues to keep him on ice, one recent fan interaction has stirred up fresh talk about his futureand its not sounding hopeful.
A fan on Instagram claimed to have spoken with Lesnar and alleged that The Beast Incarnate told them he had retired from in-ring competition and wouldnt be returning to WWE. While this has not been confirmed by Lesnar or WWE in any official capacity, the post has fueled growing speculation about whether Lesnars legendary run is truly over.
This comes just after Lesnar was spotted at a steakhouse in Austin, Texas. When approached by a Ringside News correspondent and asked about a potential return to WWE, Lesnar reportedly gave a vague response: Well see. That brief answer only added to the mystery surrounding his current status.
Lesnar was removed from all WWE creative plans after he was referenced in the lawsuit filed by Janel Grant against Vince McMahon, WWE, and others. Lesnars name being mentioned was enough for WWE to distance itself. His scheduled appearances at the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania were pulled, and creative plans involving him and GUNTHER were scrapped.
As exclusively reported by Ringside News, WWE placed Lesnars contract on hold. His status remains classified as a legal matter, and he will not return to WWE programming until that situation is resolved. There has been no confirmation of a release, and given his drawing powerand the risk of him jumping to AEWits considered unlikely WWE would grant one.
So is Brock Lesnar really retired? Maybe. But until he or WWE makes a statement, its all speculation.
Do you think Brock Lesnar is truly done with pro wrestling, or will he eventually return once the legal dust settles? Let us know your thoughts in the commentswere watching.
