Paul Heyman says he is “so proud” of WWE ahead of return to live events
“I would be remiss if I didn’t stand on a soapbox and proclaim from the top of the mountain top how proud I am to be part of WWE because we never missed a week of programming. Not one. The entire world just went through a zombie apocalypse. We never missed one week of TV, and I am profoundly, infinitely proud of that fact.”
“I would also be a liar if I didn’t say to you, man, I miss the live crowd. I so miss standing in front of a live arena and feeling that live feedback from that audience, and I am salivating at the chance to do so this Friday.”
For over a year and a half, we have waited. This weekend, we once again welcome the @WWE Universe back! #SmackDown #MITB #WWERaw pic.twitter.com/Q1GGhLhqRD

Paul Heyman was out of the WWE television for a while after Lesnar left the promotion. He eventually returned to their weeklyprogramming as Roman Reigns’ special counsel. The two have since struck an entertaining partnership that doesn’t look like it’ll end anytime soon.
