What if Brock Lesnar gets drafted permanently to WWE SmackDown?

#2 Paul Heyman pulls double duty

Paul Heyman could find himself in not only a management role behind the scenes of RAW but in front of the cameras for SmackDown.

News broke this past summer that Paul Heyman was taking over in the role of executive director of WWE RAW. Heyman working that spot seemed to suggest he might have a lesser on screen role, and that Brock Lesnar may relatedly take some time away from the WWE Universe. However, Lesnar moving to SmackDown introduces another possibility. Paul Heyman may find himself working double duty, behind the scenes on Monday nights and on camera representing Lesnar on Fridays.

Such a schedule is far from unheard of. What’s more, given the different nature of Heyman’s responsibilities in these roles, and neither necessarily entailing working house shows, it’s believable that he could pull it off. Nonetheless, it could be interesting to see the ways in which Heyman might shape WWE programming from a creative perspective on RAW, while working purely as an on screen talent for the blue brand.
