Brock Lesnar has been one of the biggest attractions in WWE in recent times. But the clock could be ticking for him, as rumors suggest The Beast Incarnate could retire next year at SummerSlam. There are still plenty of dream matches that are yet to happen, and it looks like Triple H may have subtly confirmed one of those during the post-show at Saturday Night's Main Event.

WWE might be planning a first-ever match between Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi. The speculation arose after Hunter's recent comments on the discussion panel right after SNME. The Chief Content Officer talked about how Femi had already started to captivate mainstream fans and make them fantasize about the dream matches that could happen upon his arrival on the main roster.

Triple H specifically highlighted how people draw comparisons of The Ruler with Lesnar and called it "incredible." While it may have seemed like a normal mention, this wasn't just an off-the-cuff praise. In WWE's kayfabe-driven world, such comments from the creative head often serve as breadcrumbs for future storylines. What adds more intrigue to this is the timing.

The Game's comments came at a time when there were already rumors of The Beast Incarnate retiring next year. Therefore, the WWE CCO may not have highlighted the parallels between Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi just like that without any purpose. He may have done that to subtly endorse the idea of the two powerhouses colliding next year.

Triple H is well aware that his subtle discussion of that dream match would turn the little spark into a wildfire. That's how WWE creates hype among fans for a match, especially when it's considered a fantasy booking. Hunter's enthusiasm for The Ruler and his refusal to downplay the Lesnar comparison suggest this blockbuster is on the radar and can happen very soon.

Triple H may pit a big name against Brock Lesnar in his retirement match

If the rumors are actually true that Brock Lesnar is retiring next year at SummerSlam in Minneapolis, he doesn't have much time left. With him working on a part-time schedule, only a handful of matches are possible. But the big question is who Lesnar could face in his final WWE match.

There is a good possibility that Triple H could pit Gunther against The Beast Incarnate in his retirement match. This is a dream match for the fans that they have been clamoring to see for the past two years. WWE is likely to do this bout at some point next year, perhaps at SummerSlam.

A major reason why The Ring General could be Brock Lesnar's final opponent is that Triple H is currently high on him. The company is building Gunther as the career killer who retired legends like Goldberg and John Cena. This streak is expected to continue next year as well.

Besides, the Austrian powerhouse also said in various interviews that he views Lesnar as his final boss, expressing a desire to battle him. Hence, Triple H might allow Gunther to retire the former Universal Champion, adding another major accolade to his resume.
