When Brock Lesnar left his gloves and boots in the ring after losing to Oba Femi at WrestleMania 42, everyone focused on his retirement. But one moment may have been even more important.

Just before leaving, Brock made the now-famous "X" signal toward Paul Heyman. Heyman's reaction looked completely genuine, as though he knew exactly what Brock meant.

At the time, many fans assumed it was simply Brock letting Heyman know he was going off-script. Looking back now, I think it meant much more than that.

Paul Heyman suddenly found himself without the most dominant client of the modern era. WWE couldn't simply replace Brock Lesnar, but they could begin building the next unstoppable attraction.

That's where Omos comes in.

Omos has always had the size and presence to be something special, but he's never had the long-term direction that Brock enjoyed throughout his career. With Brock stepping away, Heyman has the opportunity to rebuild Omos from the ground up as WWE's next monster.

The key is patience.

Don't rush him into championship matches. Don't overexpose him. Let him destroy credible opponents, improve in the ring, and slowly become an attraction rather than just another giant on the roster.

Imagine Heyman eventually revealing that Brock's signal at WrestleMania wasn't simply a retirement gesture. It was Brock telling him it was time to create the next Beast.

That story could easily carry WWE for the next year.

By WrestleMania 43, Omos wouldn't just be another big man. He'd be presented as the monster Paul Heyman spent an entire year creating after Brock Lesnar walked away.

If WWE commits to that slow build, Brock's final WrestleMania moment won't just be remembered as the end of an era. It could also be remembered as the beginning of Omos' era.

Red Devils for life.

God only knows whether he will be back. He has retired more times than Tyson Fury

I love the way you put that. There is a kind of restraint in the best of this that is harder to achieve than it looks.

This is exactly the kind of conversation I come here for
