Brock Lesnar left his boots and gloves in the center of the ring last Sunday (19), at WrestleMania 42, after being defeated by Oba Femi. As we know well, this is a strong sign of retirement, or at least that has always been the case in the WWE.
However, as we previously reported here at House of Wrestling, there was internal expectation within the WWE that Lesnar would retire only at SummerSlam, in August, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, his hometown.
In other words, the event is the ideal setting for the official end of “The Beast”‘s historic career. In addition, there is something bigger than that, which is the fact that Paul Heyman still owes a favor to Gunther.
On the March 30 episode of Monday Night RAW, the “Ring General” returned to WWE programming, preventing Seth Rollins from attacking Heyman and then challenging the “Visionary” to a match at WrestleMania 42, making it clear to the “Wiseman” that, from that moment on, he was indebted to him.
On the first night of WrestleMania 42, on Saturday, Gunther defeated Rollins by submission. The involvement of Bron Breakker, by the way, confirms that Rollins will not seek any kind of retaliation against Gunther, but rather revenge against the “Badass”. This naturally opens the door for Gunther to do whatever he wants.
Finally, with Lesnar‘s future still up in the air, Heyman’s favor to Gunther takes on even greater significance.
