Ranking the 5 best "Paul Heyman Guys" in WWE history

#4 Paul Heyman elevated Team Angle

Paul Heyman managed to align himself with Kurt Angle after the Olympic Gold Medalist won the WWE Championship at Armageddon 2002. Angle also surrounded himself with the tag team of Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin.

While Angle was at the peak of his powers and didn't need any help on the microphone, Heyman almost instantly elevated Haas and Benjamin. The ECW Mastermind also played an instrumental part in Angle's feud with Lesnar, since he had previously turned on The Beast Incarnate.

However, Heyman was taken off television before WrestleMania 19, denying him a satisfying ending to his feud with Lesnar.

#3 Paul Heyman was perfect for Roman Reigns

For years, WWE tried to get Roman Reigns over as a babyface, but to no avail. Even though they put him in numerous WrestleMania main events and paired him with his more interesting contemporaries in The Shield, the audience just didn't take to Reigns.

When the Georgia Tech product returned to television at SummerSlam 2020 following a 5-month hiatus, WWE finally relented and decided to turn him heel.

Reigns has put on some of the best performances of his career as The Tribal Chief and has established himself as the biggest star in professional wrestling. A big part of the character's success has been the presence of Paul Heyman.

The former ECW head honcho has added a compelling on-screen presence to The Bloodline and has stolen the show on several occasions with his entertaining backstage segments. Heyman is also the focal point of Roman Reigns' storyline with Brock Lesnar, which has the potential to be one of WWE's best feuds in decades.
