In a recent interview with ESPN’s Daniel Cormier that took place prior to WrestleMania 39, WWE superstar Brock Lesnar discussed several topics, including his future in the company.

“I don’t know how much more, I don’t know how long I’m going to be around. In 2020, I retired and was going to be just done, I had my 20 years, COVID hit, my contract was up. I had my first match in Hamel, Minnesota in an empty garage, and here I was, 20 years later fighting Drew McIntyre in front of no people for the WWE Championship and I was like, you know what, it’s came full circle and I was truly done, it did come full circle for me, but I didn’t really want it to end that way.

I grew my beard out, grew my hair out and then my birthday came around and the phoe rang and it was Vince, he was like, hey what are you doing and I was like, I’m just chilling. We didn’t even have a gameplan, he was at SummerSlam, I said let’s do this, I flew down, if we can hash a deal out, I’d love to see you, so I flew down to Vegas and we’re off to the races. I was like, I don’t want to cut my beard or cut my hair and he was like, I love it, so here we are.

This company’s been good to me, it’s been a fun ride. Every time that I think I want to be done, I get to the ring and I get to the building, and that’s part of the business that I really love. I left the business early, because I just didn’t like the travel, I’m just a simple man and it was just too much for me at the time.”
