Paul Heyman appeared on ESPN’s First Take this morning to react to an embarrassing moment involving Brock Lesnar that occurred during the November 24th episode of Raw. In the show-closing angle—which featured a massive brawl between the two WarGames teams—Lesnar slipped and fell on the entrance ramp while making his iconic entrance. While Lesnar quickly recovered, rolling through the fall and laughing at himself, the blooper immediately went viral across social media.
Turning a Fumble Into a Touchdown
Heyman played off the incident by claiming that the fall was caused by water on the entrance ramp, ensuring that the slip was presented as a technical issue rather than a mistake by “The Beast Incarnate”. He then turned the viral moment into a positive narrative, calling Lesnar’s quick recovery a “GOAT [Greatest of All Time] move”. Heyman emphasized that everyone makes mistakes, but the key is how one responds to them.
“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. 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?”
WarGames Match This Saturday
Lesnar was indeed amused by the mishap and even checked the slippery spot on the ramp after the show ended. Brock Lesnar will be in action as part of the Men’s WarGames match at the WWE Survivor Series Premium Live Event in San Diego, California, this Saturday, November 29. Lesnar will team up with the other top heels: Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, and Drew McIntyre, in a five-on-five clash.
They will face the opposing team of World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and The Usos (Jey and Jimmy Uso).
