Paul Heyman is a man who is known for his microphone skills. Heyman can pretty much talk just about anyone into anything, and fans always pay close attention to what he says because his promos are captivating. As captivating as Paul’s promos are, apparently he can’t get away with everything as WWE decided to remove a line from one of his recent promos when they uploaded the video to YouTube.

We’ve been seeing a lot of Paul Heyman on TV lately thanks to Brock Lesnar’s Universal Title match at Great Balls of Fire, and his upcoming title match at SummerSlam. Heyman cut a promo a few weeks ago hyping up Lesnar’s match with Samoa Joe, and he used the words “as a jew” while speaking to Joe.
WWE removed the line when the video was uploaded to YouTube, and Max Landis brought this to Paul Heyman’s attention and he called it a weird moment for WWE.
One of the weird moments in WWE recently was them editing out "as a jew" in @HeymanHustle's speech to Samoa Joe when they posted on youtube.
