Lesnar said, “When I was younger, I thought I want to retire when I’m 40,” said Lesnar. “And I actually retired when COVID hit and my contract was up in 2020, I think. So full circle Brock Lesnar story, had my first pro wrestling in Hamil. Minnesota in a garage in front of no people. And 20 years later, I’m the WWE Heavyweight Champion of the world, had my wrestling match in a warehouse in front of no people. So 20 years, full cycle, full revolution. And I’m alright cool that’s, I’m out. My contract was up.”

He was further asked, what motivated his return. To which he cheekily replied, “Cha-ching.” By which he symbolised money.
