Paul Heyman Says Brock Lesnar Is Here to Make Children Cry After Wrestlepalooza Win

Brock Lesnar crushed John Cena at WWE Wrestlepalooza in under ten minutes, but it was Paul Heyman’s words afterward that stole the spotlight.

Heyman made a surprise appearance before the match, stepping in to introduce “The Beast” to the ring himself. After Lesnar’s dominant win with five F5s, Heyman didn’t hold back during the post-show.

“Here’s what I’ll say about Brock. I said it the night after Brock Lesnar conquered the Undertaker’s undefeated streak at WrestleMania; Brock Lesnar is not here to put smiles on people’s faces. Brock Lesnar is here to put tears in the eyes of children,” he said.

This was Lesnar’s first WWE match since SummerSlam 2023, and his return was already under a cloud of controversy. He was referenced more than 40 times in Janel Grant’s lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE, which accuses McMahon of sexual assault and sex trafficking. Lesnar is not listed as a defendant.

Heyman’s blunt message about Lesnar’s purpose in WWE adds even more weight to his shocking comeback. The question now is whether WWE will lean into Heyman’s chilling claim as part of Lesnar’s future.
