Brock Lesnar walked out of WWE on the day Vince McMahon resigned in disgrace.

This was confirmed by Triple H during his summer 2022 long-form interview with Ariel Helwani, noting that 'The Beast' was "inherently not a trusting person" and presumably didn't initially think much of a World Wrestling Entertainment without the man synonymous with it all those years.

As of writing, McMahon has slithered back onto the board thanks to a shocking but not surprising power play, but much of this has been centred around selling WWE or at very least overseeing the next television rights fee deal ahead of finally offloading the company. Could a sold WWE be an even less appealing prospect for 'The Beast' at this point?

Remarkably, Lesnar has been with WWE five times longer than his original stint between 2002-2004, and has impressively remained a special attraction performer during that time. But unrest and uncertainty within the organisation could compromise the pay and conditions he's become accustomed to. If that goes for good, he surely won't be far behind.
