Brock Lesnar Inducted Into University of Minnesota Hall of Fame, Attends Ceremony

The University of Minnesota’s M Club held its Hall of Fame ceremony on Friday (Oct. 2) at the Huntington Bank Stadium. Among this year’s 10 new inductees was the now-retired WWE Superstar and former WWE Champion Brock Lesnar.

The University of Minnesota plans to recognize the new Hall of Famers throughout the weekend at multiple events, including today’s home football game against Michigan. Brock Lesnar was also in attendance at the induction ceremony, and some photos were shared of him at the event, which you can view below.

The 49-year-old Lesnar recently wrestled his last match in August at WWE SummerSlam 2026: Night 1. He lost to Oba Femi in a Hell in a Cell match. He subsequently announced his retirement from the ring a few days later on The Pat McAfee Show.
