8 Ways Bischoff & Heyman Will Impact WWE TV

2. Brock Lesnar Becoming Universal Champion Again

PWInsider claim Paul Heyman will continue on as Brock Lesnar's on screen 'Advocate' and pull double duty in office. There's merit to that claim; the infrequency of Lesnar's appearances mean Heyman could realistically pull it off. Whether or not that's sustainable long term, especially when Brock is on TV more during WrestleMania season, remains to be seen.

One thing's for sure: it means big Brocky ain't going anywhere other than right back into the title mix.

History dictates that those calling the shots tend to look after their buddies. Now, nobody's suggesting that Heyman overseeing Raw won't be good for the brand, but he'll definitely, definitely, definitely want Lesnar to successfully cash in that MITB briefcase at some point and once again resume his role as Universal Champion.

This isn't a case of what's best for business (a part-time champion, most would agree, isn't), it's a case of Heyman protecting one of his and WWE's most valuable relationships. Don't be surprised if Lesnar is Raw's main man again before 2019 is out.

Maybe that was a dead cert anyway.
