Paul Heyman is one of the integral parts of behind the scene duties in WWE. He is also the ‘Special Counsel’ to the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. At SummerSlam this year, Roman Reigns successfully defended his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Brock Lesnar in a Last Man Standing match. During the hard-hitting bout, ‘The Beast Incarnate’ hit a devastating F5 on Reigns’ Special Counsel, Heyman, sidelining him from television for the next few weeks.
Real reason Paul Heyman is away
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Paul Heyman has been absent from WWE television for some time in order to sell the F-5 he got from Lesnar.
“The reason Heyman hasn’t been on TV is because the idea is to sell the injuries from Lesnar’s F-5 for a lengthy period of time to make the spot mean something. Likely he would return as a surprise at some point.”
