When the alliance between Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman was first teased on the episode of SmackDown before WWE Payback 2020, fans speculated about the world of possibilities that it could potentially open up. Paul Heyman has been associated with some of the greatest Champions in the history of the sport, from The Undertaker to Stone Cold Steve Austin, from CM Punk to Brock Lesnar, and fans wondered how far Paul Heyman could take Roman Reigns in his career, provided they were actually allied at WWE Payback 2020.

And now the question of where Paul Heyman's affections lie, once Brock Lesnar returns should be very interesting to see.

Maybe Roman Reigns rules the roost on SmackDown, whereas Brock Lesnar goes after the gold on WWE RAW. In any case, a 'Paul Heyman' guy is a very coveted spot, and it was proved why such is the case at WWE Payback 2020.
