Ahead of the show, WrestleVotes Radio via Fightful Select noted that this is not expected to be the final match of The Beast’s career. The report noted that it would be surprising if he didn’t take some time away and resurface ahead of the WrestleMania 43 event in Saudi Arabia.

That being said, WrestleMania 42’s fake retirement was something that came as a shock and it seems that Lesnar’s plans are always well hidden, so if Lesnar does retire this weekend, then it’s a storyline that WWE has been able to keep close to its chest.

Will Brock Lesnar walk away from WWE at SummerSlam?

Brock Lesnar could have walked away from WWE and stayed away following WrestleMania 42, but something brought him back. While it’s likely that Oba Femi will pick up the win this weekend, the question of Lesnar’s future hinges on one fellow WWE star.

Gunther and Brock Lesnar have already danced around the idea of a dream match, and now that The Career Killer has three names on his list, Lesnar has to become another one.

If Lesnar returned to finish his story with Oba Femi, then WrestleMania 43 should be his match against Gunther with his career on the line in Saudi Arabia. He claimed he returned because he needed to feed his family, and he knows that the Saudi Arabia shows are a huge payday.

There’s no question about the fact that Lesnar’s career is coming to an end, but WWE needs to ensure that it is booked well, and they learn from the mistakes that they have made with other legends.

It will be interesting to see if he disappears from TV after SummerSlam and where this would then leave Paul Heyman, who recently left The Vision.
