Paul Heyman reacts to Brock Lesnar WWE Raw slip

On ESPN’s First Take this morning, Paul Heyman reacted to an embarrassing moment Brock Lesnar had on WWE Raw.

Lesnar slipped and fell while making his entrance in the show-closing angle of Raw this Monday. He was able to pop right back up after the fall and laugh at himself, but the moment still went viral across social media.

Heyman played off the slip, claiming that there was water on the entrance ramp. He said everyone fumbles at some point, but what’s important is how you react to it.

“Actually, I think it is a GOAT [Greatest of All Time] move. And the reason why I think it is a GOAT move is because we all fumble at some point in the game,” Heyman told First Take. “We all do. There’s no such thing as someone who doesn’t fumble in life. Brock Lesnar turned a fumble into a touchdown just like that. He is The Beast. There’s no one like him. He’s one of one. Look at that, boom. There was water on the entranceway. Slips, falls, rolls through, comes up, and there he is smiling and coming down to the ring for war. Who else could do that but Brock Lesnar?”

Lesnar will be in action as part of the men’s WarGames match at Survivor Series in San Diego this Saturday (November 29). It will be Lesnar, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Logan Paul & Drew McIntyre vs. CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns & The Usos.

Heyman — the manager for the heel side — hyped that this is the greatest assembly of talent to ever compete in WarGames. He also called Survivor Series an “infomercial” for WrestleMania 42 season.

“We have to top all the previous WarGames. But, also, this is really an infomercial for WrestleMania,” Heyman said. “Because as you must know by now, there’s such publicity push out there, that the individual tickets for WrestleMania Saturday [and] WrestleMania Sunday go on sale on Black Friday, on this Friday.

“So we are out there just showing the world, ‘Hey, check out this spectacle. Check out what WWE is about.’ And our biggest show of the year, WrestleMania individual tickets going on sale. This is our audition for the world to come to Vegas for WrestleMania — at the same time giving the most bang for the buck in the greatest WarGames of all time.”
