Paul Heyman Rips On Raw; Brock Lesnar Contract Negotiation Update

Paul Heyman has never been one to shy away from saying what is on his mind and create controversy in the world of professional wrestling. Combine this with the fact that he is the advocate for one of the most controversial figures in all of sports, and you have a recipe for news that everyone is interested in.

WWE had reported that due to contract negotiations between them and Universal Champion Brock Lesnar breaking down, the multi-man match that Kurt Angle had planned for Extreme Rules had to be cancelled.  In addition to this, Heyman has been ripping on WWE on social media, responding as follows when asked why he was not watching Raw:

Blunt answer to your interratory: Because when #RAW is built around CHALLENGERS (aka “wannabes”) instead of a once-ever athlete (@BrockLesnar) and his humble @Advocate, the commercials are actually the best part of the show!

Brock Lesnar's contractual negotiations hit a snag: Raw, June 25, 2018

According to the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, this is all a part of a storyline, leading to a Lesnar match with either Roman Reigns or Bobby Lashley at Summerslam.

Editor’s Opinion:

I have this strange feeling that Lesnar is going to be dropping the title to Reigns at Summerslam. Call it a safe bet, but it just seems like it’s the time.
