Is WWE planning for Brock Lesnar’s retirement?

'The Beast' is the most decorated combat sports star of all time

Brock Lesnar is one of the most blessed and extravagant pro-wrestler to ever foot in the squared circle. He is a specimen and in a league of his own. But, Brock Lesnar could be quitting WWE soon. It was previously reported that Brock Lesnar was going to retire after WWE due to some scenarios.

Last month, rumors circulated that Brock had "said goodbye" to some of the WWE rosters in preparation for his departure in April. And now there's an update on how fans will know whether or not Lesnar is leaving WWE after WrestleMania.

According to PWInsider (via Felix Upton of Ringside News), at Monday's broadcast of Raw, Lesnar bid goodbye to some folks backstage and told them he was "finishing up" shortly. PWInsider later tweeted a statement stating that, while the news has fueled speculation that Lesnar's contract is about to expire or that he may be leaving wrestling, the outlet never explicitly confirmed either scenario as reality.

Still for now Brock Lesnar is not retiring as he is to face "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes at WWE Backlash. But his contract coming to an end soon and him not getting drafted in WWE Draft 2023, either can happen, it is all on "The Beast Incarnate's" wish.

Will Brock Lesnar renew his WWE contract?

Lesnar has signed a series of shorter-term contracts with WWE since his comeback in 2012 after an eight-year sabbatical. Lesnar competed in UFC 200 versus Mark Hunt in 2016 and teased a return to the UFC on a more permanent basis, but he instead chose to stay with WWE.

Lesnar's WWE contracts have frequently expired around the time of WrestleMania, so his goodbye might be a repeat of that. If Lesnar's contract does expire, it is unclear whether he intends to sign a new one or retire from wrestling entirely at the age of 45.

But according to the Wrestling Observer, via WrestleTalk, only Nick Khan, Triple H, Vince McMahon, and presumably Lesnar himself actually know what the future holds for him. "Regarding rumors of Lesnar. There were reports Lesnar had told people he’d be leaving soon and within the company, the word had circulated. The only thing we know is that everything about Lesnar and what he’s doing is kept top secret and that Vince McMahon, Nick Khan, Paul Levesque know, and maybe two others know and nobody else does."

So, you know it's "top secret". WWE doesn't want to reveal anything about Lesnar. So, we just have to wait and know the situation.
