Brock Lesnar returns, attacks Oba Femi on WWE Raw
Brock Lesnar is back, and it looks like he’ll be wrestling in Italy.
On Monday, Oba Femi headed to the ring for his open challenge when suddenly someone entered the ring and attacked him. When the lights came on, it was none other than Brock Lesnar, who destroyed Femi with four F5s. After he was done, Lesnar looked at Femi and smirked before leaving the ring. Femi recovered enough to stare down Lesnar as he headed up the rampway.
Following the commercial break, Adam Pearce found Paul Heyman in his office and asked him what was going on, as he had filed retirement papers on Lesnar’s behalf. Heyman gave Pearce a contract, saying it was for a match between Lesnar and Femi for Clash in Italy and it already had Lesnar’s signature on it. Heyman told Pearce that if Femi signed it, it would set up the biggest rematch in history.
Brock Lesnar & WWE heavily suggested he had retired
At WrestleMania 42 last month, Lesnar lost to Oba Femi in quick fashion, falling to Femi’s powerbomb. After the match, an emotional Lesnar took off his gloves and boots and placed them in the ring, hinting that it was the end of his in-ring career. In the weeks following his apparent retirement, WWE had placed Lesnar in the alumni section of their website.
Despite this, PWInsider had recently reported he was still listed as an active performer internally within the company.
