Paul Heyman is usually fantastic when he’s screaming his promos, yelling about how Brock Lesnar’s opponents will be beaten, victimized and conquered. His intensity can be felt through the TV.

But with no crowd in the Performance Center Monday night, yelling your promo would have been completely misplaced. Instead, Heyman delivered a solid, stern warning to Drew McIntyre about how the Royal Rumble winner can train all he wants, but won’t be able to beat Lesnar. He promised that Brock would make the match at WrestleMania 36 quick, but it wouldn’t be painless.

It was your typical strong moment from Heyman, as he continued to make you want to see this match, even in these strange, uncertain times.
