  "account": "At WWE's SummerSlam event in his hometown of Minnesota, Brock Lesnar made the announcement that he was retiring from the company. The loss to newcomer Oba Femi, which took place in a Hell in a Cell match, prompted Lesnar to make the big decision to hang up his wrestling boots for good. In an interview on The Pat McAfee Show, Lesnar expressed his gratitude to everyone and credited his emotional day on Saturday to his retirement. The former MMA star had an impressive and memorable career, including seven WWE Championships, three Universal Championships, two Royal Rumble wins, one Money in the Bank win, and ending The Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania. Lesnar's final WWE match was against Femi at SummerSlam, where they put on an entertaining performance. After the loss, Lesnar congratulated Femi and praised him as WWE's next big star. Now that he has retired, Lesnar intends to enjoy some hunting and spend time with his two young sons.",
