Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that
Paul Heyman’s name not being mentioned during the WWE Draft may have been by design. They claim that Heyman’s WWE contract has expired and that both sides have not been able to reach an agreement to renew his contract.
Nothing is said to be certain at this point but with
Brock’s recent suspension this could be a wait and see tactic on WWE’s part to see what kind of deal they want to make with Heyman. Other talents like
Miz,
Rusev and
Darren Young were drafted with their respective managers or valets. It’s interesting to note that Lesnar was drafted to RAW with no mention of Heyman
