Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar shared a moment during Lesnar’s “retirement” after his WrestleMania 42 loss, something Heyman recently weighed in on. Lesnar seemed to signal his retirement after his loss to Oba Femi on the PLE, and it led to Heyman and Lesnar having a moment together before they left the arena.

Of course, Lesnar is still wrestling (at least for now) and defeated Oba Femi at WWE Clash in Italty. Heyman talked about the matter in his appearance on Insight With Chris Van Vliet. He revealed what he said to Lesnar and talked about what the moment means for fans with Lesnar still currently wrestling. You can see the highlights below:

On the Conversation He Had With Lesnar After the Match:

“I thanked him for everything. He thanked me for everything. I told him that I love him. He told me that he loves me. Then I asked him if he finds it funny that the two of us are standing in the middle of the ring, in the middle of the stadium, in the middle of WrestleMania, being broadcast all over ESPN, telling each other that we love each other. I said, ‘This is kind of a surreal moment.’ He goes, ‘F*ck them! Don’t worry about that, this is just for us.’ Okay, my beast. Happy to happen, happy to participate in the moment. It was just a very personal moment that we were not hesitant to share with the rest of the world. It was a very emotional moment.”

On Lesnar Still Wrestling Despite His Perceived Retirement:

“Indeed he is.”

On What Fans Should Make Of That Moment:

“Remember how I felt if I’m an audience member. I would remember how I felt watching it. I’d remember what that moment was. I remember all that it encompassed, and I would be appreciative of the fact that I got to live that moment and experience it and hold it in my data bank as a fan.”
