During today’s installment of PWInsider Elite Audio, Mike Johnson was asked if Brock Lesnar & Paul Heyman remain under contract with WWE. Johnson revealed that he’s not sure about Lesnar but mentioned that Heyman has actually been backstage at RAW helping out talents.
“Brock, I have not heard definitively that he’s not and I have not heard definitively that he is. Paul is still working for the company. I don’t know what his contractual status is but he’s been backstage at RAW helping out in different production and creative matters usually with some talents.”
“We know Brock wants to go off and do UFC but that doesn’t mean that he’s still not under a WWE contract and they’re just keeping it quiet.”
As previously reported, Brock is expected to return to the UFC to fight Daniel Cormier. The date and location of that fight has yet to be announced.
Speaking of Paul Heyman, Mike Johnson speculated that it was actually Heyman’s idea to pair up Bobby Lashley with Lio Rush.
“I actually believe that Lio Rush being put with Lashley is probably a Paul Heyman pitch because Paul has always been pretty big on the hype man and Lio Rush certainly fits that role. So I would be shocked if that wasn’t a Paul Heyman thing.”
