Brock Lesnar has finally explained his retirement and revealed his current status.

The Beast Incarnate returned to the Stamford-based company last year after nearly three years of absence. Ahead of WrestleMania, he issued an open challenge, which Oba Femi answered.

The Ruler shockingly squashed Lesnar at the Show of Shows. After the match, the wrestling legend removed his boots and gloves and left them in the middle of the ring, signaling his retirement.

Brock Lesnar Sends Chilling Message To Oba Femi On WWE RAW

Last Monday on RAW, Brock Lesnar made a surprise return to take out Oba Femi. His advocate, Paul Heyman, later handed RAW General Manager Adam Pearce a contract for a rematch between the two powerhouses at Clash in Italy, asking him to get The Ruler to sign it.

Tonight, Heyman kicked off the show before WWE played a video package in which The Beast Incarnate explained his retirement and sent a chilling message to Femi. Interestingly, Lesnar referred to himself as a retired beast.

I didn’t quite get the chance to congratulate you last week on your big victory over me at WrestleMania. Congratulations, Oba. Well Done. But that victory is gonna cost you more than you could ever imagine. Now, I’ve had my share of a** whippings over the years, but not quite like that. It was humbling. You beat my a** at WrestleMania so bad, I said, ‘That’s it. I’m done.’ But that doesn’t sit very well with me, Oba. It’s not gonna end that way, Oba Femi. Brock Lesnar can take an a** whipping, but can you? You’re gonna get your a** kicked by a humbled, retired beast. Brock Lesnar will conquer Oba Femi. I am gonna rule over Oba Femi.
