In the main event of WrestleMania 36 Night 2, Drew McIntyre pinned Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship.
Speaking on the Michael Kay Show, Lesnar stated that he felt his story had come full circle following this bout.
Lesnar noted:
“When I was younger I thought, I wanna retire when I’m 40. I actually retired when COVID hit and my contract was up in 2020. Full circle Brock Lesnar story, I had my first wrestling match in Minnesota was in a garage with no people. 20 years later, had a WWE Title match at WrestleMania in a warehouse in front of no people. 20 years, full circle. I was like ‘I’m out.'”
Lesnar returned to WWE in the final moments of SummerSlam 2021, confronting Universal Champion Roman Reigns. When asked what brought him out of retirement, Lesnar said “Cha-ching!”
