Although the events that followed the match last night could imply that Lesnar’s entering retirement, there’s a few key factors at play that I believe indicate WrestleMania was not the last time fans will see the 48-year-old.
Firstly, Lesnar’s actions could’ve been a way to turn him babyface going into a retirement run, and considering who is final opponent might be, it would be more fitting for him to close the final chapter of his career as a hero. Two weeks ago, former World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER informed Paul Heyman that he’s owed a favor after he saved him from an irate Seth Rollins, who had just been medically cleared. The interaction between both characters was brief, but it was enough to tease a potential match with Lesnar, and with GUNTHER having become the “Career Killer” over the past year by putting Goldberg, John Cena and AJ Styles into retirement, “The Conqueror” could be the next name to join the list.
Additionally, this upcoming August, WWE’s second biggest Premium Live Event of the year SummerSlam will take place in Lesnar’s hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota, which would be the ideal destination for him to hang up his boots. Therefore, with the seeds already being planted for a match against GUNTHER, and one of WWE’s most high profile events occurring in his backyard this summer, I don’t believe that Lesnar has completely called it quits. After all, many other legends in wrestling have returned after teasing retirement, and Lesnar could possibly be no different.
