Brock Lesnar pulled a Tom Brady at "WWE Raw" on Monday -- the Beast Incarnate "unretired" and got revenge on Oba Femi just weeks after seemingly ending his career at WrestleMania ... but the iconic moment wasn't without issue.
The chaos unfolded at First Horizon Coliseum ... as Lesnar attacked Femi at the start of his open challenge, hitting his foe with several F-5 finishers as payback for the loss he suffered in Las Vegas last month.
After the last painful move, Lesnar sat next to a wincing Femi ... and his positioning might've had something to do with the fact he busted his jeans wide open during his brutal beatdown, exposing his undies in the process.
WrestleMania has become a pressing matter on Capitol Hill ... 'cause one senator asked WWE exec Nick Khan when the Grandest Stage of Them All would make its way to Ohio -- right in the middle of a hearing on Wednesday.
The silly moment went down as a Senate Subcommittee met with the WWE president and other big names in the combat sports business -- including Oscar De La Hoya and Nico Ali-Walsh -- to discuss proposed changes to the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act.
While they, of course, discussed the topic at hand ... Sen. Bernie Moreno from Ohio had to take advantage of his opportunity to pitch WM to his turf in the future.
CM Punk dodged a bullet ... 'cause the guy whose phone was smacked out of his hand by the WWE Superstar in a Las Vegas hotel early this morning tells TMZ Sports he is NOT looking to sue, or involve the cops.
But, he does want something ... and it's not money.
He wants to hear the words, "I'm sorry."
The fan, who wants to remain anonymous, says he understands the 47-year-old wrestling legend wasn't having the greatest weekend after losing to Roman Reigns in the main event of night two of WrestleMania 42 ... so he's trying to show Punk some grace.
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.
Femi dominated Lesnar quickly, ending the match in less than 5 minutes after throwing Lesnar around as if he wasn’t 6’3” and 286 pounds. But it’s what happened after the match ended that shocked fans inside of Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

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.
Jelly Roll just proved there is nothing soft about him as he just smashed Pat McAfee through the announcer’s table during the main event of WrestleMania 42.
Jelly Roll came out at the start of the main event between WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and challenger Randy Orton, who had Pat McAfee in his corner, and Jelly Roll had Cody’s back immediately, going after McAfee before the match even started.

McAfee is thrown on top of the table by Rhodes -- who lines him for Jelly Roll to run from the neighboring table -- dropping an elbow through McAfee’s chest, smashing the table right out from under them, pieces flying everywhere!

Yes, that’s right, we could ACTUALLY see him, and we heard him too ... because he boldly declared that he was “the first wrestler to actually retire.”
He was complimenting 2026 Hall of Fame inductee AJ Styles when he said he hoped Styles would be the second to retire for good, though he also said if Styles ever had a chance to wrestle his son Avery, who he previously mentioned he was training to follow in his footsteps, he should take it.
Nikki Bella ain't letting an ankle injury get in the way of her and twin sister Brie's big WWE comeback at WrestleMania 42 this weekend -- she even walked the red carpet in a boot!
The WWE Hall of Famers were all smiles, chatting it up with each other on the Las Vegas red carpet Friday night ... looking strong and sexy in their respective ensembles. But, there was no hiding the giant boot Nikki has on her left foot, resulting from an injury sustained during the March 27 SmackDown.
Rumors are swirling online Nikki won't be cleared to compete in the WE Women's Tag Team Championship fatal four-way match alongside Brie Saturday night ... but she's given no indication that she'll drop out.

WWE Superstar Rusev is ready to step out of the squared circle and into the boxing ring -- he’s got his sights set on Jake Paul ... even with WrestleMania right around the corner!!!
We caught up with the Bulgarian Brute ahead of his Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match this weekend in Las Vegas ... and during a conversation about which celebrities he would want to “crush,” Rusev initially brought up Jelly Roll -- before quickly turning his attention to Jake.
“I would definitely love to put my hands on that guy,” Rusev said.
And it’s not just talk. Rusev claims his own boxing coach has been pushing him toward it ... telling him he has the tools to make real noise in the sport, especially his power.
According to Rusev, his trainer believes he has a “mean right hook” that could seriously do damage in the ring.
Rusev also took a jab at Paul’s past injuries, referencing his jaw and joking that he’s “half Terminator,” suggesting he’s not exactly worried about what Jake brings to the table.
Jake Paul has made a name for himself by taking on fighters from all over the combat sports world ... most recently getting rocked by Anthony Joshua, resulting in a busted jaw.
And Rusev sounds more than confident he would handle business ... just like AJ did last year.
Despite the talk, Rusev is currently locked in on WrestleMania ... where he will compete in a chaotic ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship.
He's not overlooking it ... but it's clear he's put some thought into what comes next.
Check out the full interview with Rusev on TMZ's "Inside The Ring" podcast.
