Brock Lesnar is back in WWE, and another unfortunate mishap came with him.
Many WWE fans were convinced that he retired at WrestleMania 42, given that he laid his gloves and boots in the ring and sold it as such. WWE treated Lesnar’s actions as a retirement too, but there was clearly a bigger plan in play.
However, Lesnar made a surprise return on this week’s episode of WWE RAW, attacking Oba Femi, the man who seemingly sent him into retirement at WrestleMania. Lesnar hit Oba with four consecutive F5s, but he suffered an accidental wardrobe malfunction during the sequence.
Brock Lesnar ripped his pants open during the second F5, which led to an awkward, yet hilarious, moment on the show. The WWE production team did its best to hide the wardrobe issue on the broadcast, but the accidental incident was still obvious to most watching.
The moment BROCK LESNAR realised he ripped his pants I love how he creatively tried to hide it

Brock Lesnar has had similar wardrobe malfunction issues before
Ironically enough, this isn’t even the first time that Brock Lesnar has ripped his jeans open on WWE TV. Last year, during a September 2025 episode of SmackDown, Brock Lesnar had a similar wardrobe malfunction while delivering an F5 to R-Truth, aka Ron Cena.
However, Lesnar didn’t try to hide that incident as much, and played along after accidentally exposing his underwear to the crowd.
Lesnar’s first match since WrestleMania 42 is already in place for later this month, as Paul Heyman handed RAW GM Adam Pearce a contract to face Femi at Clash in Italy. Femi hadn’t signed it yet, but it seems like a small formality after what went down on RAW.
