In June 2019, Vince McMahon made Paul Heyman an instrumental part of WWE by giving him the role of executive director of Raw. During that time, he gave several talent opportunities such as Andrade, Zelina Vega, Aleister Black, Murphy, Humberto Carrillo, Akam, and Rezar. Vince wasn’t overly impressed with this and replaced him with Bruce Prichard one year later.
It would be understandable if the former ECW boss were disgruntled with McMahon and WWE. However, he has stated there were no hard feelings, and it ended with a handshake and a hug. Now it’s been reported by Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio that Heyman’s contract could be set to expire soon, although he does think he’ll re-sign.
It’s hard to imagine WWE letting Heyman leave as he is too valuable in his role with Roman Reigns. You’d also think that when Brock Lesnar inevitably returns to WWE, a match will be booked between him and Reigns, with Heyman being instrumental to the angle due to his relationship with both. While some fans may think AEW signing Heyman in a creative role would be a masterstroke, the belief is Tony Khan is happy with his current creative process.
