7 Ups And 8 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (June 22nd)
5. Heyman Does Face?
Its such a weird sight to see Paul Heyman playing a good guy it almost feels unnatural. Aside from his role in restarting ECW, Heyman has been almost exclusively a heel during his WWE tenure and he really was only a hero to the ECW faithful. But there was Heyman Monday, rallying fans around Brock Lesnar and laying into Seth Rollins. Sure, it wasnt much different than when he picked apart John Cena last summer or Undertaker before that, but this time, he was playing up to the fans as an official face, not the cool heels fans love to cheer against Cena and Roman Reigns. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnYq_kgdA_Q Knowing that Heyman rarely does good guy, it makes you wonder if hell turn his back on Brock at some point. Theres precedence for it: He bailed on Brock more than a decade ago in favor of Big Show, and he also turned on CM Punk in 2013. That probably wont happen this time Lesnar really is best as a silent assassin but its still interesting to note.
