It’s no big secret that WWE fans likely won’t be seeing Brock Lesnar for a while after WrestleMania 34 airs on Sunday. Dana White has confirmed that Brock wants to return to UFC, and it was recently reported that his deal is being finalized.
With Brock Lesnar on his way out, fans are wondering what the future holds for Paul Heyman. Some people feel that he should be paired with Ronda Rousey, but it doesn’t seem that WWE officials agree.
During a recent interview with USA Today’s For The Win, Heyman was asked if he would be interested in staying with WWE, and he said that there’s interest on his end, but he would have to work with someone he’s invested in.
“Yes, I would have to be invested in that person first. B, I think I have established such credibility in the things that I say with Brock Lesnar, that I don’t envision Vince McMahon forcing someone to be paired with me – because unless I truly believe in that person, I don’t think Vince would want me to advocate for them.”
However, just because he’s willing to stay under the right circumstances doesn’t necessarily mean that he will end up staying as he confirmed that his future is up in the air.
“I can, with great candor, tell you I have no idea WrestleMania for either one of us in this business, because Brock is obviously eyeballing a return to the octagon. It’s no secret now. I’m developing projects in a co-production between my agency, the Looking 4 Larry agency, and Roy Bank’s Banca Studio, to pitch to networks. Whether that means April 8th is the last day in this industry? I don’t know yet, and I’m very comfortable with that because it just allows us to laser-focus on putting together the greatest main event possible for this year’s WrestleMania.”
