Big reunion takes place at WWE Wrestlepalooza

Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar might have his advocate back by his side.

After the two interacted last night on SmackDown, a reunion between Lesnar and his former manager Paul Heyman took place at WWE Wrestlepalooza. Heyman made a surprise appearance before the opening match and introduced Lesnar for his bout against John Cena.

“Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman. Introducing the 17-seeing, GOAT-slaying, Cena-conquering, former NCAA, UFC, WWE undisputed heavyweight champion of the world — the last real asskicker, Brock Lesnar,” Heyman said.

Heyman did not stay at ringside for the match itself.

Lesnar went on to pick up a dominant victory over Cena, reminiscent of when they faced each other at SummerSlam 2014. Tonight marked Lesnar’s first WWE win in over two years. He returned to the company at SummerSlam last month for the first time since his name was mentioned in Janel Grant’s lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE.

Following their match, Lesnar laid out Cena again and attacked the referee.

Whether this renewed alliance between Lesnar and Heyman will be a lasting one remains to be seen. At the moment, Heyman manages The Vision — a faction that includes World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed.

In their interaction on Friday’s SmackDown, Lesnar ran into Heyman backstage and said they should talk. Breakker and Reed were standing next to Heyman as that happened.
