Paul Heyman (WWE)
Paul Heyman is surprised WWE suspended Brock Lesnar after his attack
The special counsel to Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman, might have left duties of Brock Lesnar, but The Beast’s suspension came as a shock to him.
He recently appeared at WWE’s The Bump (h/t Wrestling Inc.), where he talked about the Beast’s suspension and the hefty fine that he has to pay.
Heyman said that it is not his concern anymore since he is not Lesnar’s advocate anymore. However, he showed his concerns towards SmackDown as he thinks that Lesnar can afford millions of dollars.
So it came as a huge surprise to him that WWE did something like that and not only to him but also to Reigns and the whole WWE Universe since they brought Lesnar at Summerslam.
“I am not paid by Brock Lesnar. I’m not concerned that Brock Lesnar can afford the million dollars. My concern is for SmackDown. From whose a** does Brock Lesnar pull that million dollars [from]?
“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.”
Heyman continued the interview and said that WWE should not be surprised by Lesnar’s action as that is supposed to happen when the Beast arrives on SmackDown.
He even pointed that Lesnar is the box office attraction and was behaving how he usually acts. Heyman concluded that he has no interest in Lesnar’s personal or professional life.
“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.”
