WWE Rumor Roundup: Multi-time World Champion to leave company?; Backstage details on Randy Orton slapping Superstar; Heyman's future as Brock Lesnar's manager - 20 June 2020

#3 Paul Heyman's future as former WWE Champion Brock Lesnar's manager

Paul Heyman was sacked as the RAW Executive Director by WWE. This essentially means that he will no longer be in-charge of the creative decisions on RAW. This also led to speculation of what his future with the company may be.

As per Dave Meltzer of WON, Heyman is still under talent contract. He also talks about how Brock Lesnar's return will make it clearer as to what Heyman's position in WWE will be. There is a strong chance that Heyman will continue to serve as the on-screen 'advocate' to Brock Lesnar.

As far as the future of Heyman within the company, he is still under a talent contract. Before being promoted to head Raw, he was at every Raw show producing certain talent and pitching Vince McMahon on the key storylines involving pushing of certain characters, most notably Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey. Exactly how that fits in with the future won’t be known until Lesnar returns.

Brock Lesnar has always relied on Heyman on-screen and off-screen so it is likely that their pairing will continue.

Lesnar has always heavily relied on Heyman when it comes to both business and in-ring stories of his matches.
