The Disturbing Truth Behind Paul Heyman’s WWE RAW

Kanellis is, according to his wife Maria, a man so useless and impotent he could not possibly have fathered her unborn child because, in her words, he has a “vagina”. On this week’s RAW, Bobby Lashley made his return. Did he attack somebody, to reestablish his dominance? Or did he passionately kiss the wife of a fellow Superstar, as that Superstar stood there and took it like a complete sack of sh*t?

Seriously: what’s this about? Why is Paul Heyman inviting memes about revealing the contents of his Pornhub search history? Is Becky Lynch, in next month’s big ratings grab, going to neg Seth Rollins for being terrible at Twitter, and let the Fiend in? Why are there two cuckolding storylines on Monday Night RAW, a professional wrestling show?

Two!

According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Heyman, who “isn’t in charge of RAW but has a lot of power on RAW,” is apparently “into stuff that relates to his life. A lot of his friends had a lot of marital problems. It’s soap opera for guys, with the idea that you date the hot girl, and she screws you in the end.”

A progressive and not at all alienating storyline to a female demographic WWE is trying to capture. Isn’t that Paul Heyman’s whole deal? That he has his finger on the pulse?
