Paul Heyman Comments on Putting No Thought Into Potential Brock Lesnar’s Return to WWE
As noted before, WWE dropped all of their plans for Brock Lesnar’s potential return to the company due to his involvement in the current Vince McMahon sex trafficking lawsuit. Lesnar has been absent from WWE since their SummerSlam 2023 event in August of 2023.
SHAK Wrestling held a recent interview with Paul Heyman. One of the topics discussed included Heyman’s thoughts about if he has recently spoken to Lesnar.
“It’s funny, when people ask me about that, and it’s the same answer I would have given in 2002 or 2009 when he was the UFC Heavyweight Champion and people would see me in the background of his training camps or fights. When it comes to Brock Lesnar, Brock Lesnar doesn’t like to be discussed about anything about his life that is off-camera. If I do speak to Brock Lesnar, he would want that to be private. If I don’t speak with Brock Lesnar, he would want that to be private. Number one, I would never want to violate his wish of privacy. Number two, I would fear for a human being that would want to violate the feeling of privacy that would be desired by Brock Lesnar. Based on both love and appreciation for the man, and a healthy dose of absolute fear of the man, I will neither confirm nor deny my knowledge of even the existence of a species on this planet that carries the name Brock Lesnar.”
Heyman also gave his thoughts about the potential of Lesnar making a return to WWE in the future.
“I don’t really put any thought into that at this time because it’s not a subject that is going to resolve itself by Survivor Series or by the end of the year, therefore it is not on the radar of things to address.”
