PWInsider reports that Paul Heyman has inked a new short-term deal with WWE at RAW After Mania in New Orleans. It is also reported that WWE Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar signed a new deal with WWE after defending his title at WrestleMania 34 and that contract includes everything The Beast wants including Heyman as his manager. Brock Lesnar is set to defend the Universal Championship against Roman Reigns in a Steel Cage Match at The Greatest Royal Rumble on April 27, 2018.
RAW After Mania witnessed newly crowned RAW Tag Team Champions, Braun Strowman and 10-year old kid, Nicholas, relinquish their titles. The storyline is that Nicholas has to attend school and would not be able to defend the championship with Strowman. However, 205 Live General Manager, Drake Maverick seems to have kept the door open for Nicholas to return to WWE in the near future. Nicholas is WWE referee, John Cone’s son.
If he doesn’t grow to over the weight limit in the next few years #Nicholas will have an offer coming his way from @WWE205Live …Stay in school kids ??#Raw #RAWAfterMania
