Wrestlers “often signal their retirement by leaving their shoes on the mat following their final bout,” per NBC.
As Lesner stood up, he was met by loud applause and roaring from the crowd. He became emotional as he held his hands up in the air, which caused the crowd to cheer louder. His manager Paul Heyman then stepped into the ring as Lesnar walked around, soaking up the atmosphere.
After embracing, Heyman whispered something into Lesnar‘s ear, kissed his cheek, and affectionately patted his head.
As Lesnar began to cry even more, Heyman raised the wrestler’s arm high into the air and encouraged more applause from the audience before Lesnar took a bow.
Throughout his 25+ year career, Lesnar has been named a three-time universal champion and UFC heavyweight champion.
