Brock Lesnar announces retirement during Pat McAfee Show appearance

Brock Lesnar announced his retirement from wrestling on the Pat McAfee Show today. He noted that his emotional experience following a match against Oba Femi at WrestleMania prompted this decision. Lesnar, who turned 49 last month, previously announced his retirement in 2004 and earlier this year, only to return shortly thereafter. Reports suggest his unpredictability and the nature of wrestling mean a return cannot be ruled out. He indicated that this could be a final farewell at SummerSlam, which took place in his home state of Minnesota.
