So today we’ll be taking a look at lot of new comments from Paul Heyman, some Liv Morgan
vs Becky Lynch related matters, and much more
Let’s start things off with everything Paul Heyman related
Paul Heyman has appeared alongside a lot of superstars over the last decade from Curtis
Axel, to Cesaro, to CM Punk, to most importantly, Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman have been such a strong and unbreakable unit since they reunited
in the early 2010s
numerous world titles won, they conquered Undertaker’s undefeated streak at Wrestlemania,
and so much more massive wins
But as everyone is well aware of by now, their on-screen relationship came to a weird pause
after Wrestlemania in 2020
Brock Lesnar went on his longest hiatus since returning to the WWE, which left Paul Heyman
without much to do until he got that phone call from Roman Reigns
Heyman made his first official appearance alongside Roman Reigns in August 2020 and
the they just took from there
Alongside Roman, Paul Heyman wasn’t really used as much as he was when he was with Brock
Lesnar
You don’t wanna say Heyman was a background character, but he was definitely a side character
to say the least and played a small role towards the start
It was basically a lot of Roman and Jey drama with Heyman standing by
But it was all peaceful with Heyman, there was no drama between him and Roman, nothing
that gave Roman any reason to feel tension with Heyman at all
And it stayed this way until Summerslam and Brock Lesnar’s WWE return, of course
Once Brock Lesanr returned, Paul Heyman came into the spotlight and forefront of Roman’s
story
From just a side character in the Bloodline to a potential big threat and foe to Roman
who could be working with Brock Lesnar
Heyman became the main focus, with the idea and story being “where does Heyman’s loyalty
stand at?”
We saw Jimmy and Jey question Heyman right off the bat, immediately after Brock’s return
And then after that, it didn’t take that long for Roman’s suspicions to start growing
as well, and he started questioning Heyman as well
Then all of Heyman’s interactions with Kayla Braxton were done to show Heyman slipping
up, and saying or showing something that could tie him back to working with Brock Lesnar
Then on top of all that, you add Brock’s mind games
Everything brock said, till this day, we still don’t they’re true or not
Things like Heyman fully helping Brock with his contract status, Heyman looking over the
Crown Jewel contract with Brock, and everything else Brock mentioned on the road to Crown
Jewel
We didn’t see a payoff to all the Paul Heyman drama at Crown Jewel, instead, we just had
a big moment that added more fuel to the fire, this was of course the moment of Heyman throwing
the universal title right in the middle of the ring between both Brock Lesnar and Roman
Reigns, telling them that they know what to do with it
Heyman never made it clear who he was directly talking to, but it still ended up making him
look even more suspicious
Roman addressed the situation the next night on Smackdown and told heyman that when he
asks for the title, it goes directly in his hand, and the moment hasn’t been touched
on since
Paul Heyman did recently appear on WWE’s The Bump and had a lot of time to talk about
the universal title throw at Crown Jewel and Brock lesnar’s WWE suspension
He came up with this excuse and had this to say on throwing the title between both men,
quote:
“What happened was, number one, I had terrible jet lag.
It's a long, long, long trip to Saudi Arabia and I had so much business to do because we
did have Wi-Fi on the private jet that we took to Saudi Arabia.
So it was a long trip to Saudi Arabia.
I had terrible jet lag, and, to be blunt, to embrace my own flaws, I'm not an athlete
and I'm not built like an athlete.
“I don't have the strength of an athlete or the accuracy of an athlete.
So in throwing the title into the ring, my aim is off!
Because I'm not an athlete and I had jet lag, and that title is very heavy by the way, extremely
heavy.
So you can't blame me for my lack of accuracy.
I mean, you can, but you'd be wrong to do so.”
End quote
So it was nice cover story attempt there by Heyman, but he never really answered the question
on who the title was intended for?
He will left that purposely up in the air
Heyman then addressed Brock’s suspension and heavily came at WWE’s flawed logic and
had this to say, quote:
"It amazes me that WWE went out of its way to create this huge surprise, not only for
the WWE Universe but for your Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, and Special Counsel, Paul Heyman,
by bringing Brock Lesnar back at SummerSlam”
“And then, WWE is all surprised when Brock Lesnar is Brock Lesnar.
What did everyone expect was going to happen when Brock Lesnar appears on SmackDown?
We're gonna have a bunch of smiles, and handshakes and kissing a bunch of babies?
C'mon!
“He's a beast.
That's the box office attraction about Brock Lesnar.
So, when Brock Lesnar acts like Brock Lesnar, we suspend him and fine him a million dollars?
I have no invested interest in Brock Lesnar's business -- personal or professional."
So yes, it’s great that Heyman mentioned this because again, it’s broken logic by
WWE
You got out of your way to bring Brock Lesnar back, he returns, he pulls big numbers for
you, but he hits a few superstars and referees and you suspend him indefinitely and send
your biggest attraction packing right away?
It just doesn’t make sense storyline wise.
Reality wise, yes, it’s the only write to write him off, we get that, but storyline
wise, why would Adam Pearce suspend and get rid of his biggest attractions for the show?
Which will end up hurting his show, doesn’t make sense
You bring Brock back, he has one incident, and you send him back home like nothing, it’s
weird for the story
Usually with bigger stars like this, we see the rules get bent a bit more and management
would tolerate anything as long as they still get to capitalize on their star power, that
would be the logical thing to do
But like Heyman said, you bring him back, you send him home.
Why?
It defeats the purpose of bringing him back.
You knew how he would act so why act surprised with the suspension?
So Heyman did bring up some good points, obviously his story and involvement between Brock and
Roman isn’t over
We’ll have to see what’s next for Heyman once Brock returns

Liv Morgan seems to be one of Becky Lynch’s next few challenger, and Bully Ray recently
brought up a great point about this story
He said that Liv Morgan would be the perfect superstar to really turn Becky heel and get
more fans to legitimately turn on Becky
He explained that all of the attention should go on Liv Morgan.
Put Liv on commentary, have the entire women’s locker-room saying great things about Liv
to hype her up, make it seem like it really is her time, and then have Becky absolutely
destroy and crush her
Since Liv Morgan is the beloved babyface underdog, fans won’t be happy to see that unfold,
therefore legitimatizing Becky Lynch as a heel
And it’s a great idea by Bully Ray, make Liv Morgan really shine so that when Becky
takes her out, fans would really look at Becky more and more as a heel, rather than this
tweener sort of character
So we’ll see how that story continues to unfold
——————
Jon Moxley recently released his book that had a lot of interesting stories and insight
to his mind
One of the things Moxley talked about was WWE’s Wrestlemania event
He admitted in the book that he’ll probably never wrestle again at Wrestlemania and if
he does, it’s because they gave him full creative control
Obviously, WWE doesn’t hand out creative control that easily, so it is hard thing to
ask for
But Moxley is putting it out there that it’s the only way he would ever return to Wrestlemania,
and probably WWE altogether
