WWE Superstar Brock Lesnar reveals real-life reaction to working without Paul Heyman
Brock Lesnar returned to WWE as a top babyface last year at SummerSlam and has been involved in a feud with Universal Champion Roman Reigns ever since.
However, one of the biggest differences in this storyline is Paul Heyman's association with Roman Reigns and not the Beast Incarnate. Lesnar and Heyman have worked together for decades, and it was surprising to see the former carry the segments on his own.
That said, it has given the fans a chance to see Brock Lesnar speak on the microphone more often, and he has been nothing short of brilliant.

During his recent appearance on The Michael Kay Show, Lesnar was asked if he was hurt to see Paul Heyman against him in a storyline. The WWE Champion admitted that it does hurt, and it was weird not to work with Heyman. But he also said that he was confident about working alone and just being himself on the screen.
He was quoted as saying:
"Yeah, it does, it does [hurt to work against Paul Hyeman]. Like when we first started talking about this [his feud with Roman] and how I was going to come back to the company... It was just kind of weird not having Paul. And I was wondering, 'I can do this.' I got enough confidence now, and let me be who I want to be, my character is just me." [2:59-3:05]
Brock Lesnar also revealed that he only takes bullet points backstage before his promo segments. He admitted that people could make mistakes, and at this point in his career, he doesn't concern himself too much about what could go wrong. Instead, he tries his best to stay true to his real-life persona and be as entertaining as possible.
