Brock Lesnar retirement confirmed by Paul Heyman
Paul Heyman has confirmed that Brock Lesnar’s recent retirement from in-ring competition is permanent. Speaking on the Six Feet Under podcast, Heyman stated that Lesnar has accepted the reality that his career is over, noting that unlike previous instances where Lesnar may have reconsidered, this decision is a 'fait accompli'.
During the same discussion with The Undertaker, Heyman reflected on the historical significance of WrestleMania 30, where Lesnar ended The Undertaker’s 21-0 undefeated WrestleMania streak. Heyman described the moment the streak ended as the defining event of the current generation of professional wrestling.
The conversation also highlighted a lingering tension between the participants. The Undertaker admitted that Heyman’s tendency to repeatedly cite the end of the streak as the primary highlight of Lesnar’s career remains a 'sore spot' for him, even twelve years after the event occurred.
