In a rare interview on the Barstool Sports podcast Spittin’ Chiclets, former WWE champion Brock Lesnar said he returned to WWE for a short time so he could feed his kids.

“You guys should see my grocery bill. I had left the company years ago, and I’m grateful that I’m back for a short time here so…I’m really grateful for all the opportunities that I’ve had in my life,” Lesnar said.

There were rumors flying around that Lesnar would be retiring from in-ring action in the Summer, coinciding with the SummerSlam premium live event in his old stomping grounds of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Lesnar also said the none of his championships or accolades mean anything to him as his three kids are his legacy.

“My kids are my legacy. I mean, in today’s dark-ass world that we’re living in, if you can come out and have good kids, I take a lot of pride in that,” Brock said. “When parents come to me and say, ‘Man, your boys are really respectful.’ That pumps my tires, you know?”

Brock has four children, two from his previous partner, Nicole, named Mya and Luke, and two from his current wife Rena, named Turk and Duke.

All his three sons play ice hockey while his daughter is a track and field athlete. She is a 2025 NCAA Division I champion in shot put.
