Paul Heyman doesn't want Brock Lesnar as the Universal Champion?

RAW Director first; advocate next!

Paul Heyman is Brock Lesnar's advocate on-screen but off it, he is playing a huge role backstage on Monday Night Raw. The Executive Director of RAW is reportedly not in favour of having the title around the Beast Incarnate's waist as he is not someone who is on the show regularly.

Sportskeeda's Tom Colohue has an exclusive on this and said on the Dropkick DiSKussions Podcast:

"At this point, Vince McMahon is not in charge of the direction of this particular feud. Paul Heyman is in charge of RAW now. Paul Heyman knows that you can't have someone vanishing with the title so long. He's seen it, he's seen the effect of it."

"You have got to remember, yes, Brock and Heyman have been paired up for a long time, but it was not Paul Heyman's decision to be paired up with Lesnar again. It was a collective creative decision.

"Yes, Heyman has been involved quite a lot in this regard, he was, for example, one of the main voices for Finn Balor to be working with Lesnar at the Royal Rumble. Heyman wants to work with what he has. There are no guarantees that he has Brock Lesnar because that's down to Vince McMahon putting his hand in his pocket.

"You cannot just go to Vince and say, 'I want Brock this week, this week, this week, and this week.' It's not going to happen."
