#5 Vince Russo unhappy with WWE's likely plan for Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns
Former WWE Writer Vince Russo spoke on SK Wrestling’s Writing with Russo. The veteran talked about Paul Heyman and his role with Roman Reigns on SmackDown. Russo pointed out that the only reason Heyman has been paired with Reigns is to act like a 'bridge' for a storyline with Brock Lesnar upon his return.
"Bro, there is absolutely no need whatsoever for Paul Heyman. Nothing. Bro, the only reason he’s there is because that’s gonna be the bridge to Brock, but they’re not doing anything with it, bro.''
Vince Russo was unhappy at the way WWE has played out the story and feels that Heyman has overstayed his welcome with The Tribal Chief and WWE needs to pull the trigger with a Lesnar vs Reigns storyline already.
“He [Heyman] has not done anything to advance the Reigns character. He’s only there as the bridge to Brock. Well, bro, if he’s there as the bridge to Brock, can we start laying that foundation?”
With Roman Reigns facing Edge at WrestleMania 37, it is clear that the rivalry between Reigns Lesnar is not going to be restarted anytime soon. There is also no word yet on the exact timeline of Brock Lesnar's return.
