5 potential future Paul Heyman guys

Paul Heyman is one of, if not THE best talker in the WWE today. But what's next for Paul Heyman after Brock Lesnar? Does he have that many years ahead of him in this business to make the same impact?

Fans would love to seeing him as the mouthpiece for some of the top guys on today's roster. He's done an amazing job speaking for Brock for as long as he has, but it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to say that we would like seeing him accompany someone else to the ring nowadays.

Here we will be looking at 5 potential guys Paul Heyman could manage in the near future. This goes for wrestlers who are in need of someone to be their voice, as well as wrestlers who don't exactly need him (ex: Paul Heyman & CM Punk), but it would most definitely be better if he was in their corner.

#5 Braun Strowman

This is a prime example. Braun Strowman doesn't need a mouthpiece at all, he has the look, the charisma, the big mouth, and the action to back it all up. But it wouldn't exactly hinder him if he had Paul Heyman in his corner. It's almost certain that teaming with Heyman would bring him instant success and get him even more over than he already is.

Strowman and Heyman would make an extremely badass team and you wouldn't be wrong for thinking that it would put Braun right in the title picture. Maybe even a title or two! Who knows what would really happen if these two were to team together. We can only hope that WWE are at least considering pairing the two, which would be like giving him that extra "umph".

It would definitely seem like an upgrade from the Beast Incarnate, but seeing as that Brock already beat Strowman, that's not the case. Nonetheless, it would still be a sight to see, witnessing the teaming of Heyman and Strowman. The Monster Among Men already runs through the roster as it is, imagine him running through the roster with a slick talking Paul Heyman by his side. That's good for endless entertainment and laughs every week.

#4 Samoa Joe

Samoa Joe is another example. He can hold his own both in the ring, and on the mic. But adding Paul Heyman into the mix gives you endless possibilities to storylines, championship victories, turns, etc.. Heyman's great mic skills are perfect to go along with Joe's amazing in-ring work, and fans certainly wouldn't mind seeing him in Joe's corner.

This is quite a stretch, but imagine if Paul Heyman showed up during AJ Styles vs Samoa Joe at Hell in a Cell. He somehow distracts Styles, giving Joe the win. That would be quite the surprise as no one would expect Paul Heyman to interfere with a Smackdown Live match. Since he hasn't been on Smackdown in quite a while, that would definitely blow the roof off the place. However, this isn't fantasy booking and let's get back to the point.

Most fans want to see at least one more Paul Heyman guy before he decides to retire and put everything about this business behind him. If that guy was Samoa Joe, it would be a great replacement for the Beast Incarnate. More importantly, it would give fans a chance to see a different side of Heyman. As he is used to doing all the talking, and Samoa Joe always has something to say before he beats you to a pulp.

#3 Ronda Rousey

Having Ronda Rousey as Heyman's client would undoubtedly help both parties involved. This would give Ronda a mouthpiece and maybe give her a chance to hone her mic skills learning from him. She's got something special in the ring and putting Paul Heyman in the same conversation as Ronda Rousey only furthers Rousey's chance to become something even more special in the eyes of fans.

Wrestling Observer reported "There has always been talk of Heyman and Rousey to be put together if Lesnar leaves, and actually it was something discussed before Lesnar extended his contract." Brock Lesnar reportedly extended his contract the same week that Wrestlemania 34 was to be held. So it's safe to say that Heyman and Rousey could've been something seen on WWE TV since April 2018.

If they ever decide to go with this pairing, it could be a nice change of pace for Heyman, and a nice change of pace for the fans seeing the first ever Paul Heyman GIRL.

#2 Kevin Owens

Out of everyone on this list, Kevin Owens would probably need Paul Heyman the LEAST. This guy can put on amazing matches, and he has no problem telling you he's going to beat you down beforehand. But think about it like this, CM Punk DEFINITELY didn't need a mouthpiece. Then again, it's not like being a talker is the limit to Paul Heyman's talent. Above all else, he could be a classic heel manager and be just fine. Making him the focal point of Kevin Owens' overall character will definitely put Owens in a position to be pushed and will propel him into a career of future success.

#1 Shinsuke Nakamura

Unlike Kevin Owens, Shinsuke Nakamura would need Paul Heyman the MOST on this list as his English isn't the best as of right now. Nakamura being a heel really helps the situation because Paul Heyman also does great being a guy that isn't very likable. Similar to the section about Samoa Joe, it would blow the roof off the place if Paul Heyman was seen helping a Smackdown Live superstar.

While the "God bless Nakamerica" and "No speak English" shticks were very entertaining, he would seem more like a heel if he would just speak Japanese and having Paul Heyman there, pretending to translate while trashing the audience would do for some pretty well thought out entertainment.

Also, doing the whole "I'm going to speak in my native language because I won't lower myself to your American filth" gimmick is always a good go-to for the foreign superstars. Cesaro (when he was Antonio) and Jinder Mahal to name a few.

Truth be told, Paul Heyman could be a perfect fit for anybody. He's just that good to be honest. Let's just hope WWE makes the right decision with picking who will be the next Paul Heyman guy/girl. Only time will tell and we can only wait and see.
