Over the last few months the wrestling world has lost some major names as John Cena retired back in December, and AJ Styles officially retired from in-ring competition when he was defeated by Gunther at the Royal Rumble in January.
Last month at WrestleMania 42, Brock Lesnar was defeated by Oba Femi in the opening match of night 2, and Lesnar shocked the world immediately after when he left his boots and gloves in the ring then said goodbye to the fans.
There’s been a lot of speculation following WrestleMania 42 regarding whether or not Brock Lesnar is really retired, and WWE seemingly confirmed that The Beast Incarnate is done when they moved his profile to the alumni section on their official website.

It was rumored that WWE was originally hoping for Brock Lesnar to retire at SummerSlam later this year as the show is set to emanate from Minneapolis, Minnesota. However, Brock Lesnar’s profile being moved to the alumni section seems to indicate that the former WWE Champion truly is done with in-ring competition.
Stay tuned for updates.
