Paul Heyman Says If Brock Lesnar Leaves WWE, He’ll Leave With Him

Cageside Seats reports that during Paul Heyman’s “An Evening with Paul Heyman” show last night in New Orleans, the advocate for Brock Lesnar said that if Brock leaves the WWE, he will leave with him. Here are highlights:

On Brock’s contract being up: “Brock Lesnar’s contract ends this Sunday night. If he leaves, I leave with him. It doesn’t mean that something may not come up in the future that would entice me to come back and do something. I don’t see anybody on the male roster that I would have the same chemistry with, put together the same body of work with, have the same impact and do what I’ve done with Brock since 2002. It just doesn’t exist.”

On working with the female roster: “I’m very intrigued with the possibility of Ronda Rousey, but the question would be, am I intrigued with the possibility of working next to Ronda Rousey or opposed to Ronda Rousey? Because there are other members of the female roster. I’ve made it no secret—I think that Charlotte Flair will main event WrestleMania. I’m a big fan of Asuka. I’m a big fan of Mandy Rose but for a whole, different reason.”

On the best ECW match: “I thought Rob Van Dam vs. Jerry Lynn at Hardcore Heaven 1999—that’s the greatest ECW match. I thought the series of matches between Rob Van Dam and Jerry Lynn was the definition of ECW in terms of the style, and of all the people—I say this with great respect and admiration—if you look at the style that’s becoming very popular today due to the Bullet Club and Kenny Omega, and all these guys—the revolutionaries and the evolutionaries—so much of that was being done by Rob Van Dam and Jerry Lynn in 1998 and 1999.
