5 Signs That Brock Lesnar Is Retiring From WWE After Summerslam 

WWE, Brock Lesnar,
Looks like Brock Lesnar is done with WWE after Summerslam.

Will The WWE Universe ever see Brock Lesnar again?

While there is a saying in WWE that you're never supposed to say never in the wrestling business, it seems like Lesnar's pro wrestling career might finally be coming to an end. In fact, from the way that WWE is portraying Brock Lesnar on television right now, it honestly feels like having him leave for good is the only rightful conclusion to all this.

Of course others will think that Lesnar will be back sooner or later after quenching his appetite in UFC but the way his character is being written right now and all the things that are happening to him, it feels as if none of this would make sense or have any purpose if Lesnar doesn't leave for good after SummerSlam.

With that being said and Summerslam inching closer and closer every day, here are five sings that Brock Lesnar will be retiring from pro wrestling after his match at Summerslam. Keep in mind that this doesn't mean he won't show up on Raw the next night, especially since he's scheduled to do so, but he will never wrestle in WWE again.


#5 Entered USADA drug pool

It is being reported that Brock Lesnar has entered The USADA drug testing pool

It was reported by Dave Meltzer from The Wrestling Observer that Brock Lesnar has entered The USADA drug testing pool and has already been tested multiple times. The move is supposedly in anticipation of Lesnar's UFC suspension being up in January, which will allow him to transition back into the octagon.

While Lesnar did pull double duty in WWE and UFC when he went up against Mike Hunt last year, it was reported that it was a one time deal only and wouldn't be done again. With that being said, it isn't very likely that WWE would make that kind of deal again, especially with them trying to focus on a post-Brock Lesnar WWE.

#4 Match with Daniel Cormier

Daniel Cormier versus Brock Lesnar. Who wins?

Brock Lesnar confronted Daniel Cormier at UFC 226 and let it be known that he was coming for Heavyweight championship. Interestingly enough, Cormier is planning to retire soon and said in an interview that a match with Brock Lesnar would probably be his last. Of course, he said he might fight before that, but he reiterated that he wanted Lesnar to be his final match.

With that being said and Lesnar's UFC suspension up in January, it makes sense that Lesnar would leave WWE after Summerslam to train for his fight Cormier. Fans already commented on the fact that Lesnar was losing weight and getting into shape, which means that he could be preparing for an extended stint in UFC.

#3 Nothing left to prove

Brock Lesnar,
Let's be honest. What else is there for Brock Lesnar to prove in The WWE?

Let's be honest here.

Between four runs with The WWE title and his historic over a year run with The Universal Title, there is really nothing left for Brock Lesnar to prove in the squared circle. He even defeated The Undertaker at WrestleMania 30, and absolutely massacred John Cena at a previous edition of Summerslam, which is something not a lot of superstars can claim.

In the end, Lesnar might not have held every belt The WWE had to offer, but what point would there be in coming back to do that? He also has main-evented WrestleMania several times and came away as the champion one time as well. If nothing else, there is nothing left to prove in WWE, but a lot to still prove in UFC!

#2 His heel character

Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman,
Why is Brock Lesnar turning on his friends?

WWE is making a lot of changes to Brock Lesnar's character and while it is designed to help get fans behind Roman Reigns, it is also a huge sign that Brock Lesnar will be parting ways with The WWE after Summerslam. In fact, it seems like the only outcome possible when you consider all the factors at play.

For example, Brock Lesnar attacked Kurt Angle on Raw and then chocked out his advocate, Paul Heyman as well. If nothing else, this is a sign that WWE is making Lesnar as unlikable as possible and will use this emotional condition to make sure that fans don't miss him when he walks out the door after Summerslam.

Think about it! Where else can Lesnar's character go from here? He's already breaking ties with his longtime advocate, has attacked his boss in an act of aggression and is acting cockier than the WWE Universe has ever seen him. At the end of the day, all this is a sign. A sign that Lesnar will not be around after SummerSlam.

#1 Impact of Reigns sending Lesnar out the door

Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns,
Is it time for Roman Reigns to finally dethrone Brock Lesnar?

If WWE wants to establish Roman Reigns as their top guy, then they need to make sure that Reigns sends Lesnar to The UFC without The WWE title. Not only would this outcome have the most impact towards Reigns future in the company and his establishment as a top guy, it allows him, to be the guy that finally vanished Lesnar from WWE.

While WWE might get itchy fingers and want to bring back Lesnar at some point in time, that urge will be met with feelings of apprehension when they realize what that would undo. In fact, if Reigns is truly going to become WWE's top guy by ending Lesnar's career, the company needs to make sure it stays ended.

In the end, Brock Lesnar's heel character is becoming so unbearable to watch and his actions are so disgusting that it's going to make fans want to see Lesnar lose and walk out without The WWE title. That's why Reigns needs to give fans want they want by doing it and WWE needs to capitalize on that and keep Lesnar out of the company for good after that.
