More On Paul Heyman Returning to WWE

The plan coming out of last week’s TVs was for Paul Heyman to be brought in as Brock Lesnar’s mouthpiece around SummerSlam.

I’m
not sure what changed as Vince McMahon, who never saw eye-to-eye with
Heyman, was reportedly insistent that Heyman would not be part of any
deal between WWE and Lesnar. I was told by a source close to the
situation the two had cut ties after Heyman had pressured Lesnar to stay
with UFC with some feeling that Lesnar returning to WWE would either
extremely minimize Heyman’s involvement in Lesnar’s career or completely
eliminate it.

However, one of my sources told me last week they
felt Heyman already had some type of deal in place to appear on WWE TV
and sure enough, he returned tonight.

Obviously Heyman’s comments
that Lesnar “quit” were a work although one of the things Vince McMahon
had hoped would circulate after reports of Lesnar “losing it” backstage
at Extreme Rules was that he had quit the company.

It’s also worth noting that CM Punk spoiled Heyman’s return after a day full of controversy.

Honestly, as much as I wanted him to come back, his name didn't even cross my mind whenever Johnny said his "lawyer" would be out to discuss anything further with Lesnar. I was pumped as all hell when he came out.
