Could anyone benefit more from becoming a Paul Heyman Guy than Shayna Baszler?

When Baszler hit the main roster officially, she literally took a bite out of the competition — and that was it. Her NXT run set her up to be a formidable force, especially when she defeated both Becky Lynch and Bayley to notch an NXT victory in their Survivor Series clash.

But her debut feud against Becky Lynch ended in a WrestleMania loss, which is a missed opportunity considering that The Man would take a hiatus from WWE soon after.

Today, Baszler may hold the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship with Nia Jax, but that's a few rungs down the pecking order of where someone boasting her brutality should be.

Had she become a Paul Heyman Guy, however, she'd surely return to the top of the card. Paul Heyman could hype Baszler in his sleep. Even in the laziest of angles, Paul Heyman could easily claim that Baszler failed to her her "guaranteed rematch" against Becky Lynch, thus allowing her to skip the line and reenter the title picture.

Ideally, Paul Heyman would help reestablish Baszler as a credible threat and drum up interest in a continued feud with Becky Lynch whenever she returns.
