— As noted before, Paul Heyman was fully aware that Brock Lesnar and WWE had agreed to a new contract prior to the 4/2 Raw, which is main reason he threw out the line about never appearing on Raw again if Lesnar lost as he was fully aware that the plan was changed and Roman Reigns wasn’t going to win.

— Heyman then spent the rest of the week working everyone during his media rounds by suggesting that Lesnar was headed to UFC and that his last match with WWE was likely on Sunday. Bryan Alvarez mentioned on Wrestling Observer Live that WWE has recently begun attempting to work the internet audience more and more by way of swerves to throw everyone off.

— WWE had reportedly already drawn up plans for another role for Heyman in the event that Lesnar decided to bolt to UFC, but once Brock and WWE agreed to a contract, it was guaranteed that Heyman would also be around in his role as his advocate. The reason for this is that Lesnar negotiates directly with Vince McMahon and one of his stipulations is that Paul stays on board with him.
