Tiffany Stratton on possible Brock Lesnar retirement: ‘He’s just a boy, it’s his first time living too’
Tiffany Stratton is hopeful Brock Lesnar returns for WWE SummerSlam after apparent retirement at WrestleMania 42.
Stratton told Adrian Hernandez that she almost cried when Lesnar started unlacing his boots at WrestleMania 42 and hopes he returns for a last match at SummerSlam.
“I don’t know. When I saw Brock unlace his boots, I almost shed a tear. I was sad for him. He looked like he started crying a little bit too. He’s just a boy. It’s his first time living too. So hopefully it’s not his last match. Hopefully in SummerSlam in Minnesota we’ll get to see him. I think that would be iconic, retiring in your hometown. But yeah, I’m really sad but happy for him.”
Lesnar kicked off Night Two of WrestleMania Sunday going up against Oba Femi, who won his first match at the event. After the bout, Lesnar sat in the middle of the ring, took off his gloves and shoes, which is a common gesture when a wrestler retires.
Paul Heyman had accompanied him for the showdown and was reduced to tears with what unfolded before him. On the Raw after Mania, WWE aired a video tribute to his career in the company. Additionally, there are multiple reports that not many within WWE are convinced that Lesnar has completely retired from wrestling.
