WrestleMania 42 Night Two has opened with a huge shock, as it appears Brock Lesnar has retired from the WWE! 

Lesnar opened night two of the event facing off against the “The Ruler” Oba Femi in a highly anticipated match, with both powerhouses creating a build that not many other matches on this weekend's card could compete with.

Lesnar sat in the center of the ring, clearly emotional, and slowly removed his gloves and boots, leaving them in the center of the mat, a gesture used by many wrestlers to symbolize their last match. Lesnar then hugged his longtime Manager Paul Heyman, both breaking down in tears, creating an emotional WrestleMania moment.
