Brock Lensar announces WWE retirement on 'McAfee' post SummerSlam loss

Brock Lesnar, WWE G.O.A.T. has announced his retirement from the squared circle on Tuesday, August 4.

Lesnar, 49, appeared on the podcast Pat McAfee Show and said, I’m here today to let the world know that I am retired and wanted to say a big thank you to everybody.”

The 10-time WWE sensation, Lesnar, conceded defeat to Oba Femi in a Hell in a Cell match on Saturday evening, August 1, to call it quits at SummerSlam Night 1.

The match was held in his home state, Minnesota.

Lesnar went on to reveal that he had already made up his mind last year at WrestleMania when he swiped his boots and gloves in the ring.

But plans got changed after he decided on one last Hell in a Cell appearance in Minneapolis.

“I’m here today to let the world know I am retired. Saturday was a very emotional day for me. It was kind of weird,” said Lesnar.

“When Oba Femi slammed me at WrestleMania, I said, ‘I can’t do this anymore. I think I’m done.’

But the business (called), and I still had some fuel in the tank,” Lesnar added.

“Saturday, for Brock Lesnar, that’s it. That’s it for me in the squared circle and everything else,” said Lensar, walking away from the ring for good.

Lesnar, with a lethal “F-5” finishing move, went on to win his first of his 10 WWE world championship belts, against Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in 2002.
