Contrary to speculation, PWTorch.com reports that Paul Heyman had no
major involvement in the heavily-praised angle/promo with Randy
Orton and Ric Flair on Monday's RAW.

Rumors attached Heyman to the storyline, since Heyman, believed to
be capable of creating concepts for strong angles, has recently been
serving as a creative consultant for WWE's programming.

Credit for the promo, however, belongs to Ric Flair. Word has it
that "The Nature Boy" came to Vince with the initial concept,
allowing WWE officials to finalize the idea.
