WWE Raw Results: Highlights, Analysis, and Grades for January 30

Brock Lesnar Jumps In Place While Paul Heyman Talks

Paul Heyman has such a way with words, it’s almost not fair. He gets a bad rap sometimes (and some of it is deserved), but he really is one of the best promos in wrestling history. It’s why he sticks around to advocate for Lesnar all the time, despite a rocky relationship with the McMahon family.

After a couple of misses in recent weeks, Heyman returns to form with a beautiful missive about “yeah, but.” It sounds weird out of context, but he’s basically saying everyone has a nemesis.

What’s really great about the whole thing is that there’s not really much of a stretch when Heyman refers to Lesnar as the “yeah, but” for a litany of superstars. Undertaker, Cena, Angle – for the most part, he’s got a point. But the heart of this matter is Goldberg.

Goldberg beat Lesnar at WrestleMania XX. The Beast came back better than ever years later, and Goldberg showed up again to destroy him in record time. In the Royal Rumble, Goldberg again made Lesnar look like a punk.

“Yeah, but…”

The challenge for a WrestleMania match is thrown out, and it was super obvious if you saw Survivor Series, to be honest. I fully expect Goldberg to accept, because you knew this wasn’t over.
