Heyman on Lesnar’s return: “If there are critics of it, get over it!”

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.
