Will Paul Heyman Join Brock Lesnar In WWE?

Posted by Chris Kelly on 12:59 PM

According to PWInsider, the answer is no. Heyman currently has no interest in doing anything outside of his Looking for Larry Productions, according to sources and has turned down recent WWE invitations to be interviewed for the WWE Network and other projects as well.

Heyman and Lesnar first met during Lesnar's initial run in 2002. When Lesnar left the company, the two remained close friends. Heyman authored Lesnar's autobiography "Deathclutch" and has been a regular fixture in Lesnar's camp during training and fights for UFC.

While there is always the possibility of Heyman popping up down the line or doing a solo appearance for a big event as part of Lesnar's storylines, playing off their past, Heyman is involved with other matters and projects that would keep him from having interest in a full-time role.

Rosa Mendes & Epico Comment On Bring Bumped To Dark Match

Posted by Chris Kelly on 5:52 AM

Epico tweeted the following:

Can you believe this @LaRosaMendes ? Every single WWE title was on The Wrestlemania PPV. But the WWE tag champs get the Pre-show"

"I thought this was WRESTLEmania.... No CONCERTmania... Who did Flo-rida and that MGK beat??? I guess they beat the tag champs"

"Not only the tag champs get left out of wrestlemania... We weren't even on Raw and it looks like we won't be on smackdown either..."

"and since when is Flo-rida, MGK and that menounos chick relevant to a wrestlemania????"

Rosa Mednes then tweeted:

"I'm really confused to say the least, I'm one of the hottest Divas on the roster, @WWEEpico and Primo are super athletes and we only get the dark match at #WrestleMania, no match on #Raw let's see if we even have a match on #Smackdown. Are people that intimidated by us? THEY SHOULD BE!!!"
