Former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar made his return to World Wrestling Entertainment’s Monday Night Raw show on Monday night. You can watch the video above.
Lesnar, who retired from MMA and the UFC after losing to Alistair Overeem at UFC 141 in December, was making his first appearance in a WWE ring in eight years.
Lesnar came out at the end of the show. WWE star John Cena called out Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson after losing to The Rock at WrestleMania 28 on Sunday night. But instead of Johnson’s music, fans exploded when they heard Lesnar’s old theme music.
The former champion appeared wearing a new “Brock Lesnar” shirt that is heavily influenced by his Death Clutch clothing line. Jimmy John’s, a sponsor of Lesnar’s during his UFC run, even appeared on the back of the shirt.
It’s worth noting that Lesnar looked significantly smaller than he did during his UFC run, and it was obvious to the naked eye that he hasn’t really been working out for the past two months.
Lesnar slowly made his way to the ring and circled it before climbing inside. Cena tried to shake his hand, but Lesnar instead hoisted him up on his shoulders for his F-5 finishing move.
As I told you earlier today, Lesnar is done with mixed martial arts. Not for a few years. For good. I’m just thankful that we’ll still get a chance to be entertained by the man.
