Brock Lesnar has said he does not know how much longer he will be around in WWE.
Lesnar, who defeated Omos in the WrestleMania night 2 opening match, was speaking with Daniel Cormier for ESPN.
Talking ahead of Sunday’s match, he said (transcription courtesy F4WOnline):
In 2020, I retired and was gonna 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. Here I was 20 years later, fighting Drew McIntyre in front of no people for the WWE Championship. I was like, “You know what? It’s came full circle,” and I was truly done.
He noted that Vince McMahon persuaded him to return in 2021, noting that he did not want to shave his beard or cut his hair:
I grew my beard out, grew my hair out. And then my birthday came around and the phone rang, and it was Vince. He was like ‘What are you doing?” And I was like, “I’m just chilling.”
We didn’t even have a game plan. 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’s like, “I love it.” So here we are.
On the Omos WrestleMania match, he commented:
I liked this matchup when it was proposed to me, because I just like the David and Goliath. Some people look at me like the Goliath, and just the sheer size difference in this human being. I approach this like it’s one of them things where it’s me giving back to the business now.
Giving back and wanting to intrigue these young men that want to become and do what I’ve done over the years. The roles have reversed a bit, and I’m enjoying it.
As for his future with WWE, he said:
I don’t know. I don’t know how much more… I don’t know how long I’m gonna be around.
