WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar may well be on his way out of the company, with rumours of a post-WrestleMania 34 UFC return swirling, but his Advocate, Paul Heyman, is apparently sticking around.

Entertainment website The Wrap reported this weekend that while 'The Beast' is seemingly heading back to mixed martial arts the event, Heyman will move on to a new wrestler, with Lesnar's opponent, Roman Reigns, a candidate for his services.

This union has been rumoured in the past, but it'd be a sharp U-turn for both men. Having spent the past few months feuding with each other, it'd take a dramatic shift to align them, and whether or not 'The Big Dog' actually needs a manager anymore is debatable.

Ronda Rousey's name has also been speculated. This was first touted when the former UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion joined WWE in January, and it makes sense. It'll be a while before she's truly comfortable on the microphone, and as one of the best talkers in the business, Heyman would help mask those weaknesses.

A hint of cynicism should be applied here, as it's all conjecture at this point. Still, it's easy to see why The Wrap would reach these conclusions.
