Paul Heyman Wants Credit For Predicting Charlotte Flair Would Headline WrestleMania

It has been announced that Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, and RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey will headline WrestleMania 35 next month. Heyman predicted back in 2017 that Flair would be a part of such a historic bout. Now, in a recent Tweet, he’s seeking the credit for it:
