10 WWE Superstars Who Must Retire In 2015

9. Brock Lesnar

WWE€™s decision to put the World Heavyweight Championship on Brock Lesnar was certainly an interesting one, but it€™s one that may not have paid off either creatively or financially. Lesnar hasn€™t been seen since September€™s Night of Champions pay-per-view, and WWE kept ticking along without him. In terms of pay-per-view buy rates, Lesnar hasn€™t had the significant effect that WWE may have expected and his first and only title defense at Night of Champions only drew 48,000 buys compared to 2013€™s 175,000. A lot of that is down to the WWE Network, but the drop-off between the two events is much worse than the difference between any other non-Lesnar pay-per-view this year and it€™s 2013 counterpart. In the past few months, rumours have resurfaced that Lesnar is not going to renew his contract with WWE after next year€™s WrestleMania XXXI. The likes of Jim Ross, Dana White and even Paul Heyman have stoked the fires of a possible UFC return in Lesnar€™s future, and if he€™s healthy enough he could make much more of an impact in the Octagon than he has in the squared circle. Time will tell where Brock Lesnar€™s career will go, and he isn€™t expected back on WWE TV until around Royal Rumble time. From WWE€™s perspective, it might be best to not give Lesnar a choice by cutting their losses and not re-upping on their deal for another year of sporadic appearances.
