Paul Heyman Expresses His Disgust Of WWE's Poll On Who Will Be The Next Challenger To Brock Lesnar's Universal Title

Paul Heyman is not too fond of the individual who wrote the article.

It was announced this past week on RAW by GM Kurt Angle that there will be a multi-man match that will take place at the 'Extreme Rules PPV' on July 15th. The only competitors that have been announced thus far is Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley. The winner of the multi-man bout will have earned themselves a shot at Brock Lesnar's WWE Universal Championship at the next PPV which is SummerSlam.

"The Beast Incarnate' has not been featured on WWE TV since the 'Greatest Royal Rumble' event where he retained his title by defeating Roman Reigns in a Steel Cage matchWWE.com posted a poll onto their website hyping the next title defense for Brock Lesnar and asked the public who they would like to see Lesnar defend his title against. The advocate of Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman shared his dislike of whomever published the article and Heyman went on to his personal Facebook page to write in detail about why it does not matter who challenges Brock Lesnar because they all will suffer the same fate that every individual who has challenged Brock before them has faced.


"Exactly what is the criterion being used as the hiring process at WWE.com? I truly believe all those who fail to find employment through Human Resources end up in World Wrestling Entertainment's version of modified English housed in the digital marketing division. Their latest clickbait is to put up a poll asking you, the WWE Universe, to voice your individual and collective opinion as to whom should be Brock Lesnar's next challenger. It amazes me that no one has smartened up these recklessly ignorant wannabes and explained to them that Brock Lesnar does what Brock Lesnar wants to do. Who's going to challenge Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship? Whomever is big enough box office to lure Brock Lesnar into a match that makes Brock Lesnar the type of money he commands for a fight. Who's that going to be? Roman Reigns? The second generation superstar who was second to beat Undertaker at WrestleMania, who failed in his second WrestleMania attempt to take the top title from Brock Lesnar, and similarly failed in his second attempt this year alone in Saudi Arabia? No, Brock Lesnar has no interest in the Sloppy Second Samoan! Bobby Lashley? The Man Who Would Be Lesnar? The supposed college standout who won the NAIA Championship because he knew the competition for the Division 1 Championship was too fierce? By the way, remember, when Bobby won the NAIA Title that no one really cared about, Brock Lesnar was making national headlines winning the D1 Heavyweight Championship. When Bobby saw Brock Lesnar ascend to become the biggest box office attraction in UFC, Bobby knew he had no chance against Brock, so he hid behind Scot Coker's tomato cans in Strikeforce and Bellator, hoping to look good enough to graduate into a once-in-a-lifetime payday position against Brock Lesnar, who has never even heard about Bobby except the few times I mention Bobby's name to Brock, and always as the punchline to a joke about the pitiful level of pseudo-athletes who think they are even in Brock's league. And then there's the list of Kurt Angle's Lesnar-less roster members who will forever practice the intellectual masturbation of thinking they are worthy of sharing the bill with the single biggest attraction in either WWE or UFC. When will the decision makers in WWE grow up and realize the unique status Brock Lesnar has achieved? Why do you think I adamantly refuse to ADVOCATE for anyone else? I don't want to Walk with Elias. I don't care who Gets Braun Strowman's Hands; don't want to know why Bobby Roode thinks he's Glorious; have no interest in witnessing Finn Balor prove he's the best in-ring performer on RAW; no inclination to watch Kevin Owens KO his midcard status; don't know why Kurt Angle even has a job, and don't want to Burn it Down with Seth Freakin' Rollins. I want to CONQUER with Brock Lesnar. And until there's someone who proves themselves to be able to carry their part of the main event, I will continue to ADVOCATE that my client, the reigning defending undisputed Universal Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar rejects every request by WWE to exploit his box office appeal and concentrate on more pressing, "Ultimate" opportunities that exist at the moment!"
