Brock Lesnar appears to be done with pro wrestling.
A few weeks ago, fans speculated that Lesnar could be retiring soon after he described his current stint with the WWE as a “short time.”

“I went back to work so I could feed my kids,” Lesnar said. “You guys should see my grocery bill. So yeah…no, I left the company years ago. And I’m grateful that I’m back for a short time here. I’m really grateful for all the opportunities that I’ve had in my life.”
Apparently, fans were right as Lesnar’s time with the WWE appears to be over.
On Sunday, Lesnar lost against up-and-coming WWE superstar Oba Femi at WrestleMania 42.

WWE fans praised Lesnar for the way he ended his wrestling career.
And gave Oba Femi the biggest rub imaginable on his way out. What a career, man. A legitimate one of one generational talent and athlete. It was a pleasure to watch. https://t.co/wVFILajrer
