Brock Lesnar may have retired from WWE after losing to Oba Femi at WrestleMania 42.
Early Tuesday, Lesnar took off his gloves and boots—an act traditionally associated with retirement in professional wrestling.
As of midday, fans are reacting to the news. “Thank you, Brock!” was a common chant heard throughout Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Lesnar, a 10-time WWE champion and two-time Royal Rumble winner, has had a storied career.
He became the youngest world champion in WWE history at age 25. His first title win was against The Rock at SummerSlam 2002.
Lesnar’s achievements include ending The Undertaker’s legendary 21-match win streak at WrestleMania 30.
He also won the UFC Heavyweight Championship by defeating Randy Couture in 2008.
Yet, his last match may have established Oba Femi as a top star in WWE.
Lesnar was known for his cantankerous behavior backstage but remained a favorite of Vince McMahon.
Lesnar was seen in tears as he hugged Paul Heyman while waving goodbye to the packed crowd.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding whether this truly marks the end of his wrestling career.
The Beast Incarnate is stepping away for good, ending a storied yet turbulent career.
