Paul Heyman Comments On Not Being Involved In WWE WrestleMania Main Event This Year

He may be “The Oracle,” but for the first time in six consecutive showcases, Paul Heyman won’t be soaring in at the main event. Walking men out to their career-defining matches turned landscape moments from WrestleMania 36 through WrestleMania 41, the WWE Hall of Famer will be part of the main card, just not part of the main event spotlight. And that angers him.

“Yeah, it p*sses me off,” Paul told his son Jacob in an interview later posted on Instagram. “I don’t think it’s a big secret that everything was driving this year to be Seth Rollins versus Roman Reigns, and then that fell apart. And then it was going to be Bron Breakker versus CM Punk, and that fell apart. So I was in line to be a part of the main event this year, and fate intervened, not once, but even twice.”

Although he won’t be within the main event, Heyman will be featured at least twice on the main card, tonight and tomorrow (Sunday) night, with tomorrow’s honing in on his former client Brock Lesnar versus Oba Femi. With so many accolades at stake, the former “Advocate” sees this cataclysmic match as the main event in all of WrestleMania 42.

“I’d be less than candid if I didn’t admit I take great pride in the fact that the most heavily anticipated match this year is what I call the real main event of WrestleMania, Brock Lesnar versus Oba Femi. But history won’t record that as a main event,” he added.

As everyone gears up for this year’s “Showcase of the Immortals,” Heyman is already conjuring up plans on how to be part of the focal point of next year’s main event at WrestleMania 43 in Saudi Arabia. While it’ll be hard for him not to take in rarefied air he’s so used to breathing, he says he can manage to survive where he’s positioned at this year’s festivities.

“It’s inspiring to me. Just makes me work harder for next year’s WrestleMania main event, and to make sure that I have more than one or two contingency plans in place. It’s rarefied air, and I live for that rarefied air. I’m not good at a lot of things in my life, but I’m real good at that,” he concluded.

‘Bad Ass Construction Worker’ Says He Set Up Big Vito To Strike First

The man calling himself the “Bad Ass Construction Worker” is leaning all the way into the spotlight after his recent clash with Big Vito in Las Vegas, releasing a follow up video where he proudly claims the entire situation was designed to blow up online.

Just a day after things turned physical, he addressed the fallout without any sign of regret. Instead, he painted the confrontation as a calculated move, insisting everything unfolded exactly as he planned. From the moment he arrived in Las Vegas, he says the mission was simple: get attention at any cost and make noise online.

“Not one to brag. Oh, wait, yes, I am. I’m f***** great at what I do. I came to Vegas with only one purpose in mind, and that’s to go f****** viral. Guess what? 30 Minutes in, f****** viral.”

He went on to describe the persona he has built online, explaining that provoking reactions is not just something he does, it is the entire point. According to him, stirring up anger is part of the act, and he deliberately targeted the wrestling world to escalate things further.

“So the people that don’t know who I am, I’m the Big Daddy Alpha Supervisor. Yeah. Just didn’t look badass in the video. But guess what? What I do is piss people off on the Internet. Look through my comments. Idiots f***** everywhere.”

He then admitted the confrontation with Vito was not random, claiming he specifically wanted to push things to the point where a wrestler would react physically.

“So I thought to myself, I can’t hit a pro wrestler, but I bet I could get a pro wrestler to hit me. Would, you know, dumb VIto. Good job, buddy. Fell right into my trap.”

Rather than backing down after the backlash, he mocked the reaction online and made it clear he is enjoying the chaos that followed.

“So, yeah, take your 15 minutes of fame. Vito. Yeah, dude, this is fun. This is a lot of fun, pissing people off.”

The video quickly shifted from bragging to what sounded like a pitch, as he suggested wrestlers could actually hire him to provoke others and generate buzz.

“So, hey, wrestlers, if you guys need somebody to piss another wrestler off for you. Yeah, dude, manager for hire.”

He even leaned into the viral moment by promoting merchandise tied to the incident, while also joking about the minor injuries he claims to have suffered.

“Check out this shirt. I was rage baited by a rage baiting masturbator. I just took it to real life this time and a lot of dumb people in my comments. Happy that I got beat up. Yeah, love it.”

“Other than that, Vito. Not cool. I bit my tongue so I couldn’t eat brisket nachos very well at a Flavortown restaurant. So, yeah. Good job, guys. Way to fall for the Internet. Good job, losers.”

He closed things out by teasing more appearances around Las Vegas, hinting that he plans to keep the momentum going while fans are still paying attention.

“So yeah. Hell yeah. I’ll see everybody in Vegas. If you’re not doing nothing, bump into me, dude. Yeah, let’s take pics. I’ll probably hit Wrestlecon again today.”

“And wrestlers, like I said, you need me to talk someone for you? I’m down. I got a cameo as well, guys. Cameo, Yeah, I’ve been sh*t talking people for fun. It’s a lot of fun, especially when you get reactions like that.”
