Paul Heyman Responds to Kurt Angle’s Brock Lesnar Ultimatum

At Extreme Rules last night, during a backstage interview, Kurt Angle said that he was giving Brock Lesnar an ultimatum: Either show up on Raw tonight to schedule his next title defense, or Angle was going to strip him of the Universal Championship.

To further the storyline, Paul Heyman responded to the ultimatum in character on Twitter.

Lesnar is expected to defend the title at SummerSlam.

. @WWE

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? https://t.co/A4h7P4x3eV

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! https://t.co/A4h7P4x3eV

The obsequious GM of #RAW @RealKurtAngle, who can't control his own roster, tries to look good with this amateurish negotiating ploy against my client @BrockLesnar? I'm in my #LasVegas office. Very little time for an injunction or a TRO. How can this be? https://t.co/TyUcYZupqL https://t.co/A4h7P4x3eV
