Paul Heyman Comments On Brock Lesnar's WWE SmackDown Fine & Suspension

Paul Heyman has reiterated his stance that he is not connected with Brock Lesnar but has questioned WWE's decision to fine and suspend the Beast.

Lesnar was indefinitely suspended by WWE official Adam Pearce on Friday Night SmackDown two weeks ago for his actions on the blue brand, leading to Lesnar attacking Pearce as well. The Beast was then subsequently fined $1 million for the assault as well.

Speaking in character, Heyman doesn't understand why WWE would go to the trouble of bringing Lesnar back into the fold for SmackDown, only to then punish him for acting that Lesnar always does.

Speaking on WWE's The Bump, Heyman said: "I am not paid by Brock Lesnar. I’m not concerned that Brock Lesnar can afford the million dollars. My concern is for SmackDown. From whose ass does Brock Lesnar pull that million dollars [from].

"It amazes me that WWE went out of its way to create this huge surprise, not only for the WWE Universe but for your Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, and Special Counsel, Paul Heyman, by bringing Brock Lesnar back at SummerSlam. And then, WWE is all surprised when Brock Lesnar is Brock Lesnar.

"What did everyone expect was going to happen when Brock Lesnar appears on SmackDown? We’re gonna have a bunch of smiles, and handshakes and kissing a bunch of babies? C’mon! He’s a beast. That’s the box office attraction about Brock Lesnar. So, when Brock Lesnar acts like Brock Lesnar, we suspend him and fine him a million dollars?

"I have no invested interest in Brock Lesnar’s business – personal or professional."
