Triple H Asked If Brock Lesnar Has Really Retired

ByAnutosh BajpaiProfessional Wrestling Journalist

Triple H has commented on Brock Lesnar’s actions.

The Beast Incarnate was involved in a short but physical encounter with Oba Femi in the opening match of WrestleMania 42 Night 2. The Ruler was the one who picked up the victory in the end. After his defeat, the former UFC star left his gloves and boots in the ring, and he was visibly emotional as he made his way to the back after sharing a moment with Paul Heyman.

Triple H, who skipped the WrestleMania post-show in favor of an appearance on ESPN SportsCenter, was asked if we have seen the last of Brock Lesnar. The WWE Executive suggested that he doesn’t know the answer either, as he did not get a chance to speak with the former World Champion after his loss:

It certainly seemed that way. Brock is not a walk back through the curtain and have a long conversation guy. Brock is a walk back through the curtain, very angry, and go to his bus and that is the end of it. So there was not a discussion had after.

The Game then mentioned that the intelligence of Brock Lesnar is an underrated trait, as people gravitate more towards his destructive power. Triple H explained that the 48-year-old leaving his boots might be his acceptance of the changing of the guard, after meeting a force that cannot be stopped:

There comes a point in time when somebody comes along that’s bigger and badder and just pushes you to a place that you can’t come back from. The smart ones know when that happens and they call it a day. I don’t think that was a planned thing. I think Brock went to the ring. He walked into a wall called Oba Femi. Brock walked up to the next big thing and ran into a brick wall, and the intelligence in him said, ‘maybe I should call it a day.’

WWE has been careful not to promote Brock’s actions as a definite retirement, and some fans have tried to connect the dots between Paul Heyman owing a favor to Gunther and rumors of Lesnar having his retirement match at SummerSlam this year from his hometown.
