He hugged it out with Paul Heyman and greeted the Las Vegas crowd before bowing out. The following night on RAW, Michael Cole confirmed that Brock Lesnar has indeed retired from wrestling.

WWE looked back at his Hall of Fame-worthy career with a video package. Despite symbolically retiring, Brock Lesnar has been heavily rumored to make his return in time for SummerSlam in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Rumor has it that the creative is keeping the Beast’s situation quite like Seth Rollins’ fake injury angle.

In an update, WrestleVotes reported that WWE is hopeful that the 48-year-old icon will be on the cards for SummerSlam this year.

“Many also feel that before it’s all said and done, he will have one final match at this year’s SummerSlam. Lesnar, who attended the University of Minnesota and has been billed from Minneapolis, Minnesota throughout his entire WWE career, has only wrestled two televised matches in the state, with the last taking place in January of 2004. One contact told us the company is more than hopeful he will be on the card come August 1st and 2nd at U.S. Bank Stadium downtown Minneapolis.”

During the Wrestling Observer Radio, it was reported that Lesnar could turn babyface for his last hurrah.

“Are they trying to turn Brock Lesnar into a baby face?” Yes, obviously. Yes… He is retiring… there’s going to be… maybe one more match.” (H/T- Ringsidenews)

There’s only one man who can force Brock Lesnar to come out of WWE retirement

Speaking on the Stevie Richards Show, the former WWE personality said Gunther could be the one to bring Brock Lesnar back.

“Gunther, if they really want to continue what they’ve been doing with him, and kind of took a detour at WrestleMania with Seth Rollins, but his gimmick is retiring people or getting people who are about to retire. And he’s the one who’ll be able to bring Brock back if there is a way to bring Brock back.”

A match between the two men was in the works for WrestleMania 40, but plans fell through after the Beast was officially named in the Janel Grant lawsuit.

Interestingly, Paul Heyman owes a favor to the Ring General after he solved the Seth Rollins problem for him at the Show of Shows this year.

Will Gunther demand a retirement match against Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam? Only time will tell.
