In a recent appearance on The Michael Kay Show, WWE Champion Brock Lesnar revealed that he had originally planned to retire when he was 40 years old and that after his contract expired back in 2020, he considered himself done.

“When I was younger I thought, I want to retire when I’m 40. I actually retired when COVID hit and my contract was up in 2020. Full circle Brock Lesnar story, I had my first wrestling match in Minnesota in a garage with no people and 20 years later, I had a WWE Title Match at WrestleMania in a warehouse in front of no people. Twenty years, full circle, I was like, I’m out.”

When Lesnar was questioned as to what brought him back into the mix on WWE television, he simply quipped “Cha-ching!”
