WWE RAW: How Brock Lesnar's advocate Paul Heyman reacted to Extreme Rules ultimatum
PAUL HEYMAN was furious after RAW General Manager Kurt Angle handed his client Brock Lesnar an ultimatum last night at Extreme Rules.

Angle sent a message to Lesnar and his representatives letting them know that he will strip him of the Universal Championship unless he shows up on RAW or agrees to put the title on the line soon.
The Universal Champion’s advocate claims the RAW GM issued this ultimatum without notice so that he can look tough in negotiations.
Heyman tweeted: “Are you serious? You spring this on my client, the reigning defending undisputed Universal Heavyweight Champion @BrockLesnar and me with no notice? No warning? No letter of admonishment? Just an unwarranted ultimatum, so @RealKurtAngle can look tough in negotiations?
“And it's really "cute" (most family-family facetious word I could conjure up at the moment) of @WWE to say ‘ATTENTION: @HeymanHustle’ because everyone in #WWE is so scared to address my client @BrockLesnar, so they try to create separation between themselves and their message!”

Lesnar’s last WWE in-ring appearance took place at the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia three months ago when he beat Roman Reigns in a controversial Steel Cage Match.
Reigns speared the Beast through the cage but wasn’t awarded the belt even though his feet touched the floor first.
The Conqueror has also turned his attention to UFC following a shock return at UFC 226 where he shared the Octagon with Daniel Cormier.
The five-time world champion confronted UFC Heavyweight Champion and UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Cormier at the T-Mobile Arena last week.

The ex-UFC Heavyweight Champion walked into the Octagon after DC called him out following his historic first-round knockout victory over Stipe Miocic, which made him the second fighter in UFC history to hold two titles simultaneously.
Moments after coming face-to-face Lesnar nearly sparked a brawl by pushing the new two-division champion before delivering a profanity-laden tirade.
The two fighters are expected to face each other at some point next year.
Lesnar also competed at WrestleMania 34 where he defeated Reigns after hitting him with a whopping six F5s.
