3. Paul Heyman Not Leaving WWE
WWE manager Paul Heyman’s WWE contract has expired and he hasn’t re-signed it yet. Paul Heyman was also not listed along with Brock Lesnar during the Draft (but other managers were listed with their wrestlers).
This has begun speculation that Heyman might be leaving WWE, but that’s not the case. Paul Heyman not re-signing has to do with him being busy at the moment with non-WWE projects. He’ll re-sign before SummerSlam 2016 and will accompany Brock Lesnar for his match with Randy Orton at SummerSlam 2016 (which will be the 3rd SummerSlam ever airing live on the WWE Network).
Speaking of the Network, The updated WWE Network subscriber number will be released soon. Below is what WWE posted on their Corporate website:
