Triple H comments on whether Brock Lesnar is retired from WWE after his loss to Oba Femi
As seen during WWE WrestleMania 42 Sunday, Oba Femi defeated Brock Lesnar. After the match, Lesnar left his gloves and boots in the ring. While speaking to ESPN after the show, Triple H commented on whether Lesnar has retired from WWE…
“Well, it certainly seemed that way.
Brock is not a ‘walk back through the curtain and have a long conversation’ guy. Brock has to walk back through the curtain very angry and go to his bus, and that’s the end of it.
So there was not a discussion had after. I will say this: probably the most famous combat sports athlete of our generation. One of a kind. Nobody like Brock Lesnar. But the one thing that nobody gives him credit for is the intelligence of a fighter. They see Brock as this hulking brute—the Beast, right? They see him as all that.
There comes a point in time when somebody comes along that’s bigger and better and just pushes you to a place that you can’t come back from. The smart ones know when that happens, and they call it a day.
I don’t think that was a planned thing. I think Brock went to the ring, and he walked into a wall called Oba.
Brock walked up to the next big thing and ran into a brick wall, and the intelligence in him said, ‘Maybe I should call it a day.’ And he took his boots off, he put his gloves down, and he walked away.
That is not a statement of Brock being afraid of it. That is an intelligent man meeting something that cannot be stopped. It is as much a statement of Oba as it is Brock Lesnar.
You witnessed a changing of the guard at the apex of our business.”
