Undertaker Reveals Brock Lesnar's Post-Retirement Call

The Undertaker discussed Brock Lesnar reaching out to him after announcing his retirement from professional wrestling. He defended Lesnar against criticism that the former champion had only participated for financial reasons, emphasizing that Lesnar genuinely cared about the industry.

The Undertaker expressed disappointment that wrestling would lose someone who understood its traditions and historical practices. Paul Heyman, appearing on the same episode, supported this view and noted that Lesnar had completed his career arc.

Heyman highlighted how Lesnar had recently elevated Oba Femi in a manner similar to how The Undertaker had once helped him. He described an unwritten code of honor in wrestling that requires performers to trust and support each other regardless of personal feelings.

According to Heyman, Lesnar's phone call to The Undertaker was essential. He could not imagine the retirement announcement passing without that conversation taking place.
