In spite of being the WWE Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar only sporadically appears on WWE programming. 'The Beast' finally showed up on the latest episode of Monday Night Raw, but things didn't really turn out the way we expected. Appearing in several backstage segments throughout the broadcast, Lesnar refused to go out to the ring with Paul Heyman. He showed no interest in the company, or in the fact Heyman's job was on the line. These segments made Lesnar even more unlikeable (who thought that was possible?), suggesting that this ongoing storyline is about to reach boiling point.
Lesnar eventually came out to ringside - just in time to prevent Heyman receiving his marching orders - and complained to Kurt Angle and Baron Corbin, asking them if they had a problem. He F5'd Angle, before turning on Heyman.
This storyline has gone on long enough, and after this week's Raw, the vast majority of WWE fans have turned against Lesnar to such an extent that they actually chanted "We want Roman!" While Lesnar's downfall was cleverly orchestrated by WWE, there is no way back for the part-time 'Beast' from here. He doesn't care about the company or the Universal Championship and now everything seems to point towards Lesnar losing his precious title at SummerSlam. Speaking of which...
It's pretty safe to assume that, after what happened on Raw, Lesnar and Heyman's relationship is on the rocks. 'The Beast' put his hands on Heyman, and did little to help when his advocate was about to lose his job. With this in mind, we have to ask: Could Heyman seek revenge on Lesnar?
It's been rumoured for quite some time now that Lesnar is leaving WWE and returning to UFC. Heyman, however, is not leaving, and since he's sticking around, the creative team may need to come up with a storyline to keep him on Raw. Betraying Lesnar by helping Reigns win the Universal Championship would be a great way for Heyman to remain with the company. It would get him over with the audience to an even greater extent (not that he needs much help in that department), and it would put an end to his alliance with Lesnar.
Moreover, it could also open up several more story possibilities. For example, Heyman could align himself with Reigns who, let's face it, isn't great on the microphone. Perhaps the advocate could be the key to finally getting Roman over with the WWE Universe?
