Brock Lesnar Unsure How Much Longer He Will Be A Part Of WWE
Brock Lesnar doesn't know what the future holds in WWE
Apr 3, 2023
Amidst uncertainty over his WWE future, Brock Lesnar has admitted to ESPN's Daniel Cormier that he doesn't know how much longer he will be a part of the company.
"I don't know. I don't know how much more... I don't know how long I'm gonna be around," Lesnar said.
The multi-time WWE Champion then reflected on his retirement in 2020 and return at SummerSlam 2021.
"In 2020, I retired and was gonna be just done. I had my 20 years, COVID hit, my contract was up. I had my first match in Hamel, Minnesota in an empty garage. Here I was 20 years later, fighting Drew McIntyre in front of no people for the WWE Championship. I was like, 'You know what? It's come full circle,' and I was truly done. It did come full circle for me, but I didn't really want it to end that way," Brock added.
"I grew my beard out, grew my hair out. And then my birthday came around and the phone rang, and it was Vince. He was like 'What are you doing?' And I was like, 'I'm just chilling.' We didn't even have a game plan. He was at SummerSlam, I said let's do this. I flew down, if we can hash a deal out, I'd love to see you. So I flew down to Vegas, and we're off to the races. I was like, 'I don't want to cut my beard or cut my hair.' And he's like, 'I love it.' So here we are," he continued.
"This company's been good to me. It's been a fun ride. Every time that I think I want to be done, I get to the ring, and I get to the building, and that's the part of the business that I really love. I left the business early because I just didn't like the travel. I'm just a simple man, and it was just too much for me at the time."
Lesnar has been WWE Champion two more times since returning in 2021. He defeated Omos at WrestleMania 39 and The Beast had been feuding with Bobby Lashley prior to the Showcase of the Immortals.
