Paul Heyman may have started a potential storyline between WWE Universal Champion and former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar and current WWE star and former BELLATOR fighter Bobby Lashley via social media this weekend.
It began last night with Heyman posting what was, effectively, a long written promo posted on his Facebook account that swiped at potential challengers, including Bobby Lashley:
In response, the former Impact Wrestling Champion took to Twitter, teasing himself against Lesnar:
I never ducked @BrockLesnar in college. I never had the chance to meet him earlier in @WWE. Never was in same #MMA organization. Now we're both here again in #WWE. I'm ready. Let's do it. I'd LOVE to fight Brock. Take that any way you want!

Roman Reigns, who has been pushing for yet another title shot against Lesnar, then responded:
This isn’t a college mat or an octagon. This is the squared circle, aka My Yard. So do yourself a favor Bob, don’t assume you’ll make it out of #ExtremeRules. And @HeymanHustle come say all this at #RAW. Please. https://t.co/1CWo6GHLhx

All of this is extremely interesting given Lashley and Reigns are the competitors confirmed for the Extreme Rules PPV multi-man bout set to determine Lesnar's next Universal Championship challenger. WWE will continue the build to that bout with tomorrow's episode of Raw, which will air live from San Diego, CA.
