WWE SummerSlam 2019: 5 Potential finishes for Brock Lesnar vs Seth Rollins - shocking betrayal, squash match

#4 Paul Heyman betrays Brock Lesnar

One night after the 2019 Royal Rumble, Seth Rollins received one of the loudest crowd reactions of the year when the Phoenix fans chanted “Slay The Beast! Slay The Beast!” towards the former Shield member as he weighed up whether to challenge for the WWE Championship or Universal Championship at WrestleMania 35.

Fast forward seven months and, sadly for Rollins, he no longer has the huge amount of vocal support from fans that he had earlier this year, as shown on the latest episode of Raw when his defiant promo about facing Lesnar at SummerSlam earned no reaction from the crowd.

WWE’s decision-makers desperately need to make a change to Rollins’ babyface character to avoid him becoming another good-guy Superstar who ends up receiving occasional boos from the audience – and that’s where Paul Heyman could come in.

Brock Lesnar’s advocate previously betrayed “The Beast” at Survivor Series 2002, where he helped The Big Show win the WWE Championship, while a possible split with Lesnar was teased throughout the summer of 2018.

The best betrayals happen when fans least expect it, and is anybody expecting Heyman to slide a steel chair into the ring to cost Lesnar in his match against Rollins on Sunday? No!

Granted, this may seem like an outlandish suggestion, but it would be the perfect way to split up Heyman and Lesnar whilst allowing “The Beastslayer” to reclaim the Universal Championship without damaging his opponent’s character.
