Paul Heyman Addresses Brock Lesnar Throwing WWE Title at Vince McMahon After WrestleMania 34

Paul Heyman has finally addressed one of the wildest behind-the-scenes moments in recent WWE history—the infamous title toss incident at WrestleMania 34, where Brock Lesnar hurled the Universal Championship belt at Vince McMahon after walking backstage.

The shocking moment happened in 2018 after Lesnar retained the title in a controversial main event against Roman Reigns. A clip of Lesnar storming through Gorilla Position, visibly angry, then launching the championship belt toward McMahon—with Heyman trailing behind—made rounds online and instantly became legend.

During an interview with SHAK Wrestling, Heyman was directly asked what was going through his mind in that moment.

“What’s going through my mind? Dad, if everyone wants to fight, I got Brock Lesnar’s back.”

That was it. No corporate spin. No apology. Just a one-line reminder that Heyman rides for Brock no matter what. The full context here is key. Lesnar was frustrated with how the WrestleMania 34 main event was received and possibly upset with the match layout or the backstage reaction. Multiple reports over the years have suggested Vince McMahon and Lesnar exchanged heated words backstage. The belt toss, caught on camera by WWE, cemented the incident as one of the most chaotic post-main event moments in company history.

Heyman didn’t offer further explanation, but his deadpan delivery said enough. Loyalty isn’t a question when it comes to his partnership with Lesnar—and chaos is just part of the job. Whether Lesnar’s tantrum was about business, frustration, or just pure adrenaline, Heyman’s takeaway was simple:

“I got Brock Lesnar’s back.”

Moments like this are why fans still hang on Heyman’s every word—and why Lesnar remains one of the most unpredictable figures WWE has ever seen.
