According to PWInsider.com, Paul Heyman will be making his return to WWE television tomorrow night alongside the “Beast Incarnate” Brock Lesnar, as the duo invades the Philips Arena in Atlanta, GA. 

There has been a lot of online speculation over the future of Heyman, whose contract with WWE recently expired. Many expected him to sign a new deal, which he may well do tomorrow night in Atlanta, but others have said Heyman intends to work on a per-date basis without an official contract going forward, possibly to work on new projects outside of WWE. Other reports have indicated the two haven’t come to an agreement on what he can, and cannot do, outside of the company. Of course, Heyman himself hasn’t commented on any of this, so who knows what’s actually going on. 

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross also indicated via Twitter this afternoon that Heyman would be returning to Raw on Monday night. Whether good ole JR has the insider track on this, or if he’s just responding to the aforementioned report from Insider, is unclear. Time will tell, as Lesnar will for sure be back tomorrow night – mouthpiece or not – to promote his upcoming WWE SummerSlam match against “The Viper” Randy Orton.
