Paul Heyman Shocked by Brock Lesnar’s Unexpected Retirement

WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman says he was completely surprised when Brock Lesnar announced his retirement after losing at WrestleMania 2026. Heyman admitted in a recent interview that he had confidently predicted Lesnar would dominate the ring for years to come. “Would I have said he’d conquer the next 15 years if I’d known he was retiring?” Heyman asked, joking about his own dramatic on-camera tears. He revealed he had no prior warning about Lesnar’s decision and was caught off guard when Lesnar hugged him in the ring and announced his departure. Despite Lesnar’s exit, Heyman expressed optimism about WWE’s future. He highlighted a new generation of stars—Bron Breakker, Logan Paul, Bronson Reed, and Austin Theory—as “The Vision” that will carry the company into its next era.
