Ups...

5. A Fun Side Joke

Sometimes you hear something and can’t believe the person really said something, so you rewind and replay it a few times to confirm.

That’s what happened when Paul Heyman started giving his usual shtick about how saying Brock Lesnar was going to win at Crown Jewel wasn’t a prediction; it was a spoiler. But then Heyman went a step further and said it was a guarantee, and he “couldn’t be more clairvoyant on the outcome of a match if it were predetermined.”

Of course, the joke here is that wrestling matches are predetermined (a specific word used in the past when people would say that wrestling is fake).

It was a quick joke, and you actually heard a few people in the audience laughing, so the message got across.
