# Brock Lesnar announces retirement from WWE after SummerSlam Hell in a Cell match 2026-08-05T23:16:54+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Brock Lesnar announced his retirement from professional competition during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, ZeeNews India reported, saying his Hell in a Cell match at WWE SummerSlam in Minneapolis was his final bout. Lesnar said he had considered stepping away earlier in the year after a high-impact WrestleMania encounter with Oba Femi, telling McAfee, I'm here today to let the world know I am retired. The 49-year-old's career spanned an NCAA wrestling title at Minnesota, ten WWE world championships beginning with a win over Dwayne Johnson in 2002, ending The Undertaker's undefeated WrestleMania streak in 2014, a brief stint with the Minnesota Vikings, and a UFC heavyweight championship win over Randy Couture before a doping suspension ended his mixed martial arts run. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The retirement claim is well supported by Lesnar's own quoted remarks on a named broadcast, but it still comes from a single outlet with no independent confirmation from WWE. The career recap of titles, the Vikings tryout and the UFC run all trace to ZeeNews's own account of his career rather than independent verification. A statement from WWE on Lesnar's retirement is what would put the announcement beyond his own account of it. ## Coverage - ZeeNews India Tags: Brock Lesnar, WWE Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/10-time-champion-brock-lesnar-officially-retires-from-wwe-says-cant-do-this-anymore/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
