A WWE Hall of Famer doesn’t believe that we have seen Brock Lesnar despite his seeming retirement at WrestleMania 42. The legend in question is Jim Ross.

In a shocking moment at WrestleMania 42, Brock Lesnar lost to Oba Femi in under five minutes. The Beast Incarnate seemingly retired after his loss to Oba as well, as he left his boots in the ring and got emotional while thanking the fans in attendance.

However, it has officially not yet been announced that Lesnar is hanging up his boots. Fans on social media are also confused about Brock’s stance, and now the WWE Hall of Famer, Jim Ross thinks Lesnar is not done yet.

Jim Ross says fans have not seen the last of Brock Lesnar

Speaking on his Grilling JR podcast, Jim Ross recalled the time when he signed Brock Lesnar to WWE’s developmental territory, OVW, as the head of talent relations back in 2000, because he was special:

“I knew he was that special, Conrad. My God, I mean, just look at him. And he carried himself like a champion. He’s a big brute. He’s intimidating looking. I paid him more money than I ever paid any rookie. So he was that special,

Jim Ross also claimed that we have not seen the last of Lesnar yet:

Have we seen the last of Brock Lesnar? Hell no, no way. Have we seen the last of Brock Lesnar as a semi-reoccurring character on TV? I think so. But I don’t think we’ve seen the last of him. For WrestleMania next year or major events, they’ve got somebody. I think if you project that Brock Lesnar returned to fight Oba Femi, let’s say. I know they fought already. That means nothing to me. If you’re good at what you do for a living, you should be able to do it more often than once and kick a**. And I’m sure those two guys could do that.”

Speaking on the same podcast, Jim Ross also reflected on the potential dream match between Brock Lesnar and Gunther, which has yet to happen:

That’s a match that has to be booked somewhere. I don’t see that before WrestleMania. That’s a WrestleMania match, not SummerSlam, not Royal Rumble. It’s a WrestleMania match. It’s already half-assed built. It’s like building a castle. You’re now just putting the finishing touches on it because the foundation is laid. That would be a great match. One of your tent poles for next year’s WrestleMania. And it would sell like a sumbitch, especially in Minneapolis, where Lesnar calls home,” JR stated. [H/T Ringside News]

Only time will tell if Lesnar will be seen in the ring again.
