Paul Heyman has been instrumental in Drew McIntyre’s rise to the top of WWE not only as a backstage personality but as a manager to his arch-rival Brock Lesnar as well.
The WWE Champion recently had an interview with TVInsider.com where he talked about the recent changes in WWE creative team and the removal of Paul Heyman from the executive director position.
McIntyre said that he doesn’t know the ins and outs when it comes to creative process of WWE and claimed that the recent changes are very interesting in regards to his relationship with Paul Heyman:
“I don’t know the ins and outs regarding creative. I get my creative and go from there. I figure out best what works for Drew McIntyre and the storyline. Regarding Paul Heyman the character, that is very interesting for myself. The last time we interacted was going into WrestleMania against Brock Lesnar before I defeated him in five minutes in the main event. There may be things to happen down the line. Brock is lurking in the shadows. If he wants to get beat in three and 23 seconds this time.”
Continuing on the topic, Drew McIntyre discussed an interesting possibility for the future of the ECW Founder, saying that he might have eyes on a different superstar Heyman can bring to face him:
“Or perhaps Paul Heyman has his eyes on other superstars he wants to bring to Drew McIntyre. Either way, I always enjoy a little joke with Paul Heyman on the microphone. There is nobody better than him. It forces you to up your game. Hopefully, we’ll be seeing him soon enough.”
