Speaking to ClutchPoints after his surprise return on SmackDown, Heyman discussed his former client. Heyman and Lesnar were an iconic duo in WWE, winning several championships and earning countless accolades together. But if Lesnar returns, it will be his decision.

Brock Lesnar has not appeared on WWE programming since WWE SummerSlam 2023. Paul Heyman explains why he has not put thought into his return. In January 2024, Lesnar was implicated in the sexual assault and trafficking lawsuit against Vince McMahon.

Tonight's go-home SmackDown episode was headlined by Jacob Fatu defeating Jey Uso. Jacob won the match with a Samoan Drop through the announce table, then a top rope Moonsault for the pin. With the win, Fatu earned the WarGames order of entry advantage for his team against The OG Bloodline.
