10 Things Paul Heyman may have planned for SummerSlam

#8 Splintering from Brock Lesnar

Paul Heyman has been at Brock Lesnar's side for years but may write a schism between them

For most of Brock Lesnar’s current run as a part-time WWE Superstar and most monstrous of monster heels, Paul Heyman has served as his mouthpiece and stand-in when he isn’t booked for television.

The pairing has worked well for their natural chemistry and real life friendship, not to mention that Heyman’s talents as a talker are strong enough to feel totally in place representing one of the most imposing physical forces pro wrestling has ever seen.

There’s a school of thought that might suggest Heyman, in creative control, would keep himself close to his friend and one of the top meal tickets in wrestling. However, if Heyman is going to be devoting his attention to the creative process week in and week out, there’s also a fair argument that he might get himself off TV so he can focus his energies appropriately.
