Paul Heyman Admits He Had No Idea About Brock Lesnar’s Retirement at WrestleMania 42

TLDR

Paul Heyman told TMZ Sports that he was completely unaware of Brock Lesnar's retirement plans before WrestleMania 42, contradicting suggestions that it was a carefully orchestrated secret. Heyman pointed to his previous public comments about Lesnar having "15 years" left and said his emotional ringside reaction was genuine, stating "I was crying" and questioning whether he's capable of acting that well on command. WWE has since moved Lesnar to the alumni section of their website and aired tribute packages across their programming.
