Reports suggest there is more future at WWE for Brock Lesnar

Despite the evidence to the contrary, there is a backstage notion that Lesnar has not yet retired but will do so later this year, according to Dave Meltzer. Since SummerSlam takes place in his birthplace of Minneapolis, there have been rumors for months that The Beast will be saying goodbye to WWE. Lesnar’s retirement did seem to be last-minute or unforeseen, according to Bryan Alvarez. “It really came across like he did something people weren’t expecting,” Alvarez added. 

Meltzer has also discovered that, although it was abandoned just before WrestleMania 42, WWE had initially intended for the Lesnar/Femi feud to last much longer. Has Lesnar retired, then? There are methods to bring him back, but none of them make sense. Could he come back just to be defeated and retired by Gunther? Yes, but it doesn’t seem likely because it would undermine whatever faith that fans may have in WWE.
