Lesnar has returned to the company and will headline the biggest show of the summer against Cena, and Heyman spoke with Busted Open about Lesnar winning the title.
"Brock Lesnar is going to beat John Cena," Heyman said. "That's not a prediction, that's a spoiler. Brock is going to win and it will bring more prestige and box office draw to the championship title than anybody in the past 25 years. Brock Lesnar is going to make that title mean more than it ever has before and people are going to understand that when the title is on the line it is special and it's going to mean something."

Lesnar, of course, is coming off of ending The Streak of The Undertaker this past April 6 at WrestleMania XXX at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. Heyman touched on the history that was made when 'Taker suffered his first WrestleMania loss.
"You should have listened to me," Heyman said about the end of The Streak. "I'm gonna tell you this again, Brock Lesnar is going to deliver an F-5 that will drive Cena with such force he will pin John Cena and win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. You can believe what I'm telling you and you won't be surprised next time you interview me and you can say 'every time Heyman says something it comes true. He's not Nostradamus and he doesn't have a crystal ball or any special voodoo powers' Brock Lesnar is going to beat John Cena. Take it to the bank."
Heyman also touched on where the moment of Lesnar pinning 'Taker at the Show of Shows ranks in his career.
"As an advocate and performer, it is the moment," he said. "Absolutely. Nothing else is even close. John Cena brought it up on Monday night. 40 men have held the WWE championship. Only one man can say 'I beat the streak'. That's a moment. The only equivalent I can give you is if someone was announced as the President of the United States and someone comes up and says 'I've been elected God'. There have been a few men who ever had the title. Only one man beat The Streak"
Heyman, who has a DVD Ladies and Gentlemen, My Name Is Paul Heyman coming out on Tuesday through the WWE that will chronicle his career, also touched on his relationship with WWE CEO and Chairman Vince McMahon.
"Strictly platonic," he said of his relationship with the boss. "I think Vince McMahon serves his company well as the chairman and recognizes the talents and exploiting the ability of Paul Heyman every Monday night on RAW
