Brock Lesnar Explains Decision To Return, Still Refers To Himself As ‘Retired’ On WWE Raw
For the first time since losing at WrestleMania 42, fans heard from Brock Lesnar on WWE Raw.
In a pre-taped video, Brock explained that he didn’t get the chance to congratulate Oba Femi on his victory at WrestleMania.
“I’ve had my share of ass whoopings over the years, but none quite like that, it was humbling. You beat my ass so bad I said ‘that’s it, I’m done’. But that doesn’t sit very well with me Oba. It’s not gonna end that way Oba Femi. Brock Lesnar can take an ass whooping, but can you? You’re gonna get your ass kicked by a humbled, retired beast. Brock Lesnar will conquer Oba Femi. I am gonna rule over Oba Femi,” he said.
"I am going to RULE over Oba Femi" 🔥

After the video promo, Oba confronted Paul Heyman in the ring, and said he was going to kill Lesnar.
Brock left his gloves and boots in the ring after losing to Oba at WrestleMania 42, seemingly signifying his retirement.
He returned last Monday, attacking Femi.
Lesnar will face Femi at WWE Clash in Italy on Sunday.
