Appearing on The Ariel Helwani Show, WWE Hall of Famer Paul
Heyman said that nobody is going to be able to “cancel”
Brock Lesnar.
Heyman was reacting to the news of his former client’s
return at SummerSlam after a two-year absence, mainly thanks
due to him being named in the Janel Grant lawsuit.
“If you were in MetLife Stadium on Sunday, you would
understand that return meant a lot to that audience,” Heyman
said when faced with the reaction from a part of the
internet wrestling community online.
“That audience was shocked to see Brock Lesnar come out and
to see him F-5 John Cena. Nobody left MetLife Stadium
going…’Oh God, they brought back Brock.’ People were just
going nuts. That’s our paying audience. They’re happy to see
him, I’m happy to be part of a team that presents him,”
Heyman continued.
Now referred to as The Oracle, Heyman said that people are
going to criticize everything they do and very few people
make it to the top in life without either making mistakes or
having skeletons in their closet.
“Obviously, the decision was made, it’s time to bring back
Brock Lesnar,” Heyman told Helwani. “Whatever that decision
is based on, I respect it. If there are critics of it, get
over it!”
Heyman added that he’s happy to have Brock back because the
audience is happy to have him back.
“If we brought him back and the audience rebelled against
it, I wouldn’t be happy to have him back,” he said.
