5 people who could replace Triple H & the McMahons as WWE authority figures

#4 Paul Heyman

Another WrestleMania, another post-WrestleMania full of uncertainty regarding Brock Lesnar’s WWE career. “The Beast” lost the Universal Championship against Seth Rollins in the opening match of the main show at WrestleMania 35, so what now?

For Lesnar, a return to UFC appears to be on the cards (granted, we’ve heard that before). For his advocate, Paul Heyman, it remains to be seen whether he will stick around on WWE programming, help out behind the scenes, or return to our screens when his client next shows up.

The former ECW owner has mentioned in media interviews that, with the exception of CM Punk, his alliances with other Superstars (Curtis Axel, Cesaro, Ryback etc) have not worked in recent years because they were all overshadowed by Lesnar.

So, instead of taking on board another client, is it too far-fetched to think that Heyman could potentially take on a role as a General Manager on Raw or SmackDown Live? He would certainly do a great job.
