• Brock Lesnar May Not Have Retired At WrestleMania 42

Brock Lesnar made his first WrestleMania appearance since 2023 at WrestleMania 42, where he came up short against Oba Femi. After the match, the 10-time World Champion appeared to signal retirement, leaving his gloves and boots in the ring before kissing the mat and walking out emotionally.

However, speculation has now emerged that Lesnar may not have actually retired. WRKD Wrestling, who have previously broken several WWE insider stories, suggested that the situation may not be final.

“Don’t be so sure. Cole was very careful with his wording.”

Lesnar’s retirement being a storyline is a possibility because it has long been rumored that GUNTHER will be the one to retire The Beast Incarnate. GUNTHER has built a reputation over the past year as The Career Killer after retiring multiple legends.

The idea has gained more traction in recent weeks, with Paul Heyman owing GUNTHER a favor following The Ring General’s match against Seth Rollins on Night 1 of WrestleMania 42. This has led to speculation that the payoff could be a match between GUNTHER and Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam 2026 in Minneapolis, Lesnar’s hometown.

• Roman Reigns Responds To Oba Femi’s Challenge

Oba Femi made his WrestleMania debut tonight and defeated Brock Lesnar in the opening match, in what could potentially mark the end of The Beast’s in-ring career.

Speaking on the WrestleMania 42 post-show, Femi spoke about the victory and shared what it meant for him.

“It feels amazing, because it’s one thing to tell everybody what you are, and another to show everybody exactly what you are. I took 25 years of history, 25 years of dominance from The Beast and made it null, because I am what I say I am. The Ruler, The Destroyer, The Bringer of War, Oba Femi!”

He then turned his attention to Roman Reigns, who captured the World Heavyweight Championship in the main event, and hinted at a future showdown.

“I think tomorrow is a celebration. I think in the coming weeks is the establishment of a new main event player. And I think at the end of the year, The OTC can GET SOME!”

Reigns then responded to him later on the show:

“Oba had a big night. Oba, you gonna kill me? You still seem a little fresh in this business. You did a big thing tonight, but I’ve done that many times. I did that with the title on the line. Let’s see how you do in the Summer, then we’ll see if you can step to the Greatest of All Time.”
