Brock Lesnar's initial run with WWE saw him struggling to keep up with the company's hectic schedule. Soon after his WWE title loss to Eddie Guerrero, Brock Lesnar approached Gerald Brisco and made it clear that he was leaving WWE. Lesnar wanted to tell this to Vince McMahon's face and found him chatting with Triple H in the ring.

As per Lesnar's autobiography, "Death Clutch", The Beast told the boss that they needed to have a chat. He told Vince that he didn't want to wrestle in a WWE ring again and wanted to leave. This is what Vince told Lesnar in response:
Well Brock, what about WrestleMania? You can't leave on bad terms that way! You can't do this to me.
The duo reached an agreement and Lesnar went on to lose to Goldberg at WrestleMania 20 in Madison Square Garden. Lesnar and Goldberg were both booed by the audience as the news of both leaving at the same time had become public knowledge by that point. It would be 8 long years until Lesnar made his return to a WWE ring.

While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
