5 Biggest WWE promos that were actually unscripted

#3 Paul Heyman's reaction to a proposal on WWE RAW

At WWE Survivor Series 2017, Brock Lesnar was set to compete in a Champion vs Champion match against AJ Styles. Shortly before the event, Lesnar and Paul Heyman appeared on RAW to address the upcoming bout. The promo was Heyman hyping up the match and heaping praise on Brock Lesnar as usual, but Heyman's words weren't what made this promo memorable.

During Heyman's promo, a fan in the audience proposed to his girlfriend and she accepted the proposal. The fans in the arena went bananas and began chanting "She said yes," interrupting Heyman's promo in the process.

This is where Heyman steered away from the script and roasted the fan in a hilarious moment.

“Just so you know, she only said yes because she’s never been up close to a beast like Brock Lesnar.”

Heyman is one of the greatest mic-workers in the history of WWE. It didn't take him long to realize what was happening in the crowd, come up with a witty response immediately, and put over Lesnar at the same time.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
