Brock Lesnar might be on his last run with WWE.

In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet John Cena talked about his WrestlePalooza encounter with The Beast Incarnate. Specifically they discussed very short length of the bout which the former UFC star dominated from start to finish.

The Cenation Leader explained that he didn’t mind getting squashed by Lesnar because he’s already on his way out and the loss helped build his opponent as an attraction. He then made a curious remark saying Brock is set to ‘go into sunset’ in Minnesota very soon:

“I’ve sat in this seat before. You have to figure out who gets the shine that night and if, in his return again, only my perspective. This attraction where we are going to build until he goes into the sunset, which is, I think, in Minnesota? Creatively, it’s very soon.

To create a mountain to climb for someone, you have to build the mountain. I’m on my way out. It’s not like it’s gonna hurt me, but I’m a viable commodity, and it’s a great main event. See these two titans for the last time, and it’s ok.”

WWE is set to host the SummerSlam 2026 from Minneapolis, Minnesota on August 1 and 2 next year. As a native of the area, Brock Lesnar has a lot of history in the state. He’s previously represented University of Minnesota in the NCAA championship and the wrestling veteran was also briefly a part of the Minnesota Vikings in NFL.

The company brought Lesnar back this year despite considerable backlash from fans. Whether or not Brock actually retires next year will be revealed at the appropriate time but it’d make sense if the officials brought him back knowing it was the wrestling veteran’s final run with the promotion.
