As part of a recent interview with Sports Illustrated’s Justin Barrasso, Lashley revealed that there was quite an interesting character pitch for him when he first came to the company, but luckily Paul Heyman managed to save him from being a part of it.

Lashley hadn’t been part of the company for a long time at this point which could be why the writers already had an idea for him based on what he looked like rather than the man he actually was.

Heyman is currently the executive director of Monday Night Raw, which means that he is overseeing much of the angle with Lana and Rusev at present and it appears that Lashley has a lot to thank him for.
