Be it in WWE or UFC, the star has established his dominance within moments of arriving. However, The Beast Incarnate has recently slowed down a little in recent years and even put over other stars.<\/p>\n<p>In recent months, there have been rumors about the star finally retiring and leaving the business. In fact, after WrestleMania 36, Lesnar had a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\/news-i-truly-done-brock-lesnar-secret-wwe-retirement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">&#8220;soft&#8221; retirement<\/a> for a while. When he returned, he had changed his character for the most part, becoming Cowboy Brock with a beard and a sassy attitude.<\/p>\n<p>Now, though, the star is 45 years old. As such, he only has a few years left before he will want to hang up his boots. The former world champion clearly takes a lively interest in his life outside wrestling. But WWE may have plans for his retirement that he himself might not be aware of.<\/p>\n<p>According to reports, Lesnar might be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\/when-brock-lesnar-retiring-rumored-details-final-wwe-contract\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">retiring<\/a> after WrestleMania 40. Whether the report may be true or not, WWE might decide that it&#8217;s time to force Brock Lesnar to retire by losing to a star of their choosing.<\/p>\n<p>This was seen in the past when Kurt Angle was forced to lose to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\/baron-corbin-kurt-angle-wanting-to-john-cena-wwe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Baron Corbin<\/a> in his last match to retire, despite the legend wanting to face John Cena.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed hidden-lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\/twitter\">\n<div class=\"tweet-outer-container\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"tweet-container\">\n<div class=\"tweet-body\">Now I feel the fan reaction is a hope John Cena takes out Baron Corbin at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WrestleMania\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"WrestleMania\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">#WrestleMania<\/a> on the way to the ring, grabs the mic after Kurt Angle asks what he is doing&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Cena responds:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"app-tweet-blockquote\"><p>Now I feel the fan reaction is a hope John Cena takes out Baron Corbin at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WrestleMania\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"WrestleMania\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">#WrestleMania<\/a> on the way to the ring, grabs the mic after Kurt Angle asks what he is doing&#8230;Cena responds: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/iZvv2WYgxY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/iZvv2WYgxY<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>In Lesnar&#8217;s case, there might be a star that WWE has already decided as the perfect opponent for him \u2014 Gable Steveson.<\/p>\n<p>The wrestler WWE signed soon after his achievements at the Olympic Games, where he won a gold medal, is yet to show up in any shape or form on the company&#8217;s programming.
