Paul Heyman delivered Brock Lesnar’s lawsuit to Triple H
Raw SuperShow began with WWE COO Triple H addressing Brock Lesnar. "Your arrogance and stupidity offend me,” The Game said then admitted he was embarrassed that he bought into the hype surrounding Lesnar. Giving props to John Cena, The Game then recalled how Cena did not give up and fought to victory against Lesnar at Extreme Rules.

Next, a tense standoff ensued when Paul Heyman, accompanied by a lawyer, hand-delivered Triple H a lawsuit from Lesnar. According to Heyman, Lesnar is owed millions after his contract was breached. “Consider yourself served,” Heyman said after calling Triple H a “corporate sycophant.”

As Heyman and Triple H squared off, Heyman criticized The Game’s business acumen. When emotions reached a boiling point, the COO grabbed hold of Heyman by the face. “You tell Brock Lesnar, he’s going to get everything he deserves,” Triple H said. But before things got even more physical, The Game relented and released his grip. As Triple H left ringside, Heyman threatened another lawsuit – assault and battery – and vowed to see the COO in court. ( "PAYDAY OR PAYCHECK FOR PAUL HEYMAN?")
