Who Paul Heyman Is Pushing For To Be The Next Universal Champion

There has been a lot of talk over the past few days about Brock Lesnar potentially leaving WWE to fight in the UFC. This was escalated on RAW this week when Paul Heyman announced that if Lesnar loses his title at Summerslam, he is walking out of WWE.

Brock will be defending his title in a huge fatal 4-way match against Braun Strowman, Roman Reigns and Samoa Joe.

With all the rumors flying around, it seems like a big possibility that Brock will be dropping the title in the match and we will be seeing a new champion.

But who will be winning the title?

According to a report from Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Paul Heyman has been pushing backstage for WWE to put the title on Samoa Joe.

This corroborates with the story a few weeks ago that Lesnar really liked working with Samoa Joe and was happy with their match at ‘Great Balls Of Fire’.

Obviously Heyman or Lesnar don’t have final say in WWE but their word could go a long way when the decision is made. We will have to wait and see.
