Paul Heyman's WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony on April 5th wasn't without its surprises. While Lesnar was noticeably absent from the official video package, Heyman defied expectations by acknowledging his longtime client, Brock Lesnar, during his speech.

Heyman, known for his "advocate" role and signature introductions, took a humorous and energetic approach to his acceptance speech. He referenced his history as a wrestling disrupter, his leadership of ECW, and even took a playful jab at Stephanie McMahon. For the ECW segment, he donned classic ECW gear and declared that the spirit of the brand is far from dead.



While recapping his career highlights, Heyman specifically mentioned advocating for Lesnar, even delivering his trademark introduction for "The Beast Incarnate." This is significant because Lesnar was entirely omitted from the official WWE-produced video package. The closest reference was a brief mention of Heyman managing the "1 in 21-1," Lesnar's undefeated streak record.

Lesnar's exclusion likely stems from his implication in an ongoing lawsuit against WWE. The lawsuit alleges that Vince McMahon used an unnamed "world-famous athlete" to keep Lesnar, a former UFC Heavyweight Champion, happy during contract negotiations. Since the lawsuit's filing, Lesnar has been pulled from WWE creative plans and television appearances.
