Lesnar’s career wasn’t limited to wrestling. He briefly pursued the NFL and later became a UFC heavyweight champion before health issues and a failed drug test cut that run short. Despite stepping away from WWE at times, he always found a way back.
With stars like John Cena and AJ Styles also retiring recently, WWE is clearly entering a new era. Whether Lesnar returns or not, this moment already feels like the end of something big.
