Paul Heyman has been one of the best talkers in WWE for a number of years. Since his return at the side of Brock Lesnar in 2012, Heyman has been able to work with the likes of Cesaro, Curtis Axel, CM Punk and now Roman Reigns.
Ahead of his return, the star was away from WWE for more than six years after he opted to part ways with the company in 2006.
After the revival of ECW, Heyman and Vince McMahon clashed several times over booking decisions. This led to the two men falling out in front of the creative team following December to Dismember.

Heyman argued for a push for CM Punk in ECW, but this wasn't something that McMahon backed. After refusing a role writing for developmental shows, Heyman decided to leave the company in 2006.
The star has obviously since returned to the company and is now Special Counsel to the Tribal Chief. Punk even went on to become one of the the company's biggest stars during Heyman's absence in the late 2000s.
