WWE Spoilers: Paul Heyman talks CM Punk's future, WrestleMania 30, new 'Paul Heyman Guy'
Paul Heyman sat down for an extensive interview with ThisIsInfamous.com and addressed a wide variety of topics, including CM Punk and WrestleMania 30. He also revealed that a new "Paul Heyman Guy" would soon emerge.
Firstly, here's what Heyman, who formed a real-life and on-screen friendship with Punk, had to say about Punk's walkout on WWE:
"You know, there were only three people in the room that night, and that was CM Punk, Vince McMahon and Triple H, and none of the three have talked about it. So whether CM Punk will ever or won't ever appear in WWE again is truly only known by the three people that were in the room on that given evening. Anything else that is stated about it is merely speculation."
Of course, Heyman couldn't resist when asked how WrestleMania 30 should end and said Brock Lesnar should drag the winner of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match out to the ring and pin him, thus ending the Undertaker's streak and becoming the champ.
He also talked about his pipe bomb about Punk in Chicago on the March 3 edition of Monday Night Raw:
"The easiest interview I've ever done in my entire career because I knew the task at hand. Think about this. I didn't say one disparaging thing about CM Punk. It's because I have nothing disparaging to say about him. I said, 'If CM Punk were in this ring tonight, he would prove to everyone that he is what he always claims to be: The best in the world.' And I believe that to be true! I said everything about CM Punk that I felt in my heart and at the end of the day, we don't have that television show on the air to sing the praises of those who are not with us or just heap praise on people because we like them. The television show is a promotional vehicle to entice the audience to purchase the network or the individual pay-per-view. My task at hand is to elicit the response from the viewer that they find the Brock Lesnar versus Undertaker match compelling enough to purchase the pay-per-view or get involved with WWE Network to see the match. So when I went out in Chicago, I knew my responsibility was to sell you on Brock Lesnar vs. The Undertaker any way that I had to, which included sitting there for the first ten minutes and discussing the 800-pound elephant in the room, which is why CM Punk wasn't appearing in his hometown."
