Paul Heyman has finally spoken out about one of the most dramatic behind-the-scenes moments in recent WWE history: the notorious belt toss incident at WrestleMania 34. After Brock Lesnar’s controversial victory over Roman Reigns in the 2018 main event, Lesnar stormed backstage and hurled the Universal Championship belt at Vince McMahon.
This intense moment unfolded shortly after Lesnar retained his title in a highly debated match. Video footage showing an angry Lesnar rushing into the gorilla position and Heyman tossing the championship belt at McMahon as Lesnar pursued him quickly went viral, becoming an iconic scene among wrestling fans.
In a recent interview with SHAK Wrestling, Heyman was asked what was going through his mind during that tense exchange.
He simply replied, “What’s going on in my head? Dad, if you guys want to fight, I’m rooting for Brock Lesnar.”
There was no corporate polish or apology—just a straightforward expression of unwavering loyalty to Lesnar. To understand the situation fully, it’s important to note that Lesnar was unhappy with how the WrestleMania 34 main event was received and reportedly displeased with the match setup and backstage reactions. Multiple sources have confirmed that Lesnar and Vince McMahon exchanged heated words backstage. The belt toss, captured on WWE cameras, cemented this as one of the most chaotic moments following a main event in WWE history.
Heyman didn’t elaborate further, but his dry tone clearly communicated the message: his allegiance to Lesnar is unshakable. Disruption and drama come with the territory when working with someone like Lesnar. Whether the outburst stemmed from business frustrations, personal annoyance, or sheer adrenaline, Heyman’s takeaway was simple: “We got Brock Lesnar back.”
