WWE’s Paul Heyman Addresses Seth Rollins SummerSlam Championship Win

WWE’s Paul Heyman has shared his first comments following Seth Rollins winning the World Heavyweight Title at SummerSlam.

The World Heavyweight Championship changed hands twice during the August 2 night of action, with CM Punk first defeating GUNTHER to win the gold in the show’s main event.

Seth Rollins then appeared, revealing that his injured knee is fine and cashing in his Money in the Bank contract.

With Rollins ending Punk’s reign after just five minutes, Paul Heyman has now shared a Triple H-esque photo with Rollins, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed backstage on social media.

Revealing that this was “Plan B”, Heyman captioned the photo:

Isn’t this a tradition in WWE that the brand new champion always poses in the gorilla position with someone?

Did we make people mad? Are you all upset with us?

I hate to say we told you so, but we told you about Plan B so Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman and I represent not only @bronbreakkerwwe and @BRONSONISHERE, but the reigning, defending… @WWERollins!
