In case you didn’t know...
WWE will be holding a Superstar shake-up this coming Monday night on RAW, where select Superstars will be changing brands. It is not the official draft, so it is likely going to be a small tease of the coming draft, which is rumoured to take place around June or July.
As of now, the two rumoured names to be switching brands include Charlotte Flair from RAW and Alexa Bliss from SmackDown Live. Some other rumoured names expected to switch are AJ Styles and The New Day, though it is unclear whether they will switch brands in the shake-up or the draft.
The heart of the matter
Here are the series of tweets that Heyman followed up from the first one:

Paul Heyman looks to be creating more and more buzz about the upcoming Superstar shake-up!
What’s next?
The Superstar shake-up will take place in the coming episode of RAW, and Brock Lesnar will not be physically present. Even so, it is extremely unlikely that he will get moved over to the blue brand as he still possesses the title of the red brand.
Author’s take
Paul Heyman is just attempting to create buzz about the shake-up and continue to hype Brock Lesnar to the best to his abilities. And to Heyman’s credit, there is no one better at hyping things up.
At the end of the day, it’s nothing more than promotion, and Brock Lesnar will not even appear on the shake-up, let alone be a part of it.
