One of WWE's biggest stars has seemingly called it a career in the squared circle.

After suffering a loss to WWE's "new big thing" Oba Femi on Sunday night at WrestleMania 42, Brock Lesnar had and emotional moment as he left his gloves and boots in the center of the ring. Lesnar was given an ovation by the fans in Las Vegas, who chanted "thank you Brock" as he saluted them. Lesnar shared a hug with longtime manager Paul Heyman before exiting the ring.

While we've seen WWE legends come back after an in-ring retirement - most notably The Undertaker, who left his gear in the ring at WrestleMania 33 but later returned on several occasions - it was a fitting close to a long career for the now 48-year-old Lesnar.

In his final match, Lesnar passed the torch to Oba Femi, who beat Lesnar with a chokeslam and a massive "Fall From Grace" powerbomb, setting Oba Femi up as a serious new contender in the main-event scene.

If this is the end for Lesnar as it seems, he leaves as a 7-time WWE Champion, a three-time Universal Champion, and a two-time Royal Rumble winner.
