Brock Lesnar drops huge WWE retirement hint

Brock Lesnar has admitted that his return to the WWE is only for a short time, prompting rumours he could retire this summer.

After a two-year absence, Lesnar made his return to the WWE ring at SummerSlam last year following the conclusion of the main event between John Cena and Cody Rhodes.

Since then the 48-year-old has remained relatively active, including his controversial exit at the Royal Rumble earlier this year.

Recently, Lesnar has been clashing with NXT superstar Oba Femi ahead of their match at WrestleMania 42, which takes place April 18 and 19 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

However, his recent comments reflecting on his past year in the sport have raised concerns that the match with Femi could be his last.

When Lesnar returned to the ring last year following his extended absence it came as a massive surprise to wrestling fans, but Lesnar has admitted that it was something he needed to do to provide for his family.

Explaining his comeback, Lesnar said on Spittin Chiclets: "I went back to work so I could feed my kids.

“You guys should see my grocery bill. I had left the company years ago, and I’m grateful that I’m back for a short time here, so I’m really grateful for all the opportunities that I’ve had in my life.”

Admitting that his return is just for a 'short time' is what has fans concerned, with many suggesting that the match with Femi could be a potential passing of the torch moment.

Elsewhere in the interview Lesnar backed up this belief by admitting that none of his championships or professional achievement meany anything to him, with his children being the only legacy that truly matters

If Lesnar were to lose the match it would almost certainly mark the end of his return to wrestling, with Femi taking the mantle of the biggest physical presence in the organisation.

However, some reports have claimed that Lesnar is reluctant to losing before officially retiring from the ring.

If this were the case, it is very likely that Lesnar’s final match would instead come against Gunther at SummerSlam, giving the Austrian the chance to put an end to another legendary WWE career.
