5 Superstars Paul Heyman is "high on" as per backstage reports and is looking to give a massive push

Ever since Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff were named the new Executive Directors of RAW and SmackDown respectively, the WWE Universe has been speculating which Superstars will be moulded into the top stars in this new regime.

While, there is no way top Superstars like Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns or AJ Styles will lose their place on the card, it is obvious that Heyman and Bischoff will like to push the Superstars they favour.

Paul Heyman has already been handed the reins of Monday Night RAW, whereas Bischoff is yet to take charge of SmackDown, and so it would be rather early to guess which Superstars Bischoff will be looking to push. However, such a list of Superstars to push for Heyman looks ready.

There has been plentiful speculation already as to who the RAW Executive Director will be pushing, but let us look at the Superstars that are likely to get a major push under the Paul Heyman regime based on backstage reports:

#5 Ricochet

There have been numerous reports stating that Ricochet is highly favoured backstage and might be in line for a major push in the coming weeks. One of the reasons for this could be the fact that Paul Heyman has reportedly taken a liking towards the One and Only.

Paul Heyman, apparently, feels that Ricochet would be the perfect man to lead the way for WWE's new strategy to increase teenage viewership. Heyman feels that Ricochet connects well with this demography, and that is one of the reasons he is being pushed to the moon.

While Ricochet is no doubt, one of the best in-ring performers in WWE, he clearly lacks the mic skills and charisma required to become the top guy of the company. However, with Heyman's backing, it will only be a matter of time before Ricochet is honed into becoming a complete performer.

#4 Lacey Evans

The Lady of WWE has been featured quite prominently on RAW as of recent weeks. And it looks like her push is not going to end anytime soon, as the Executive Director of RAW sees great potential in her.

Lacey Evans is currently feuding with RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch, and it is quite possible that with her being favoured by Heyman, she might just be the next RAW Women's Champion.

#3 Aleister Black

Former NXT Champion, Aleister Black seems to have caught the eye of the WWE management, especially Paul Heyman, along with Lacey Evans and Ricochet. Multiple sources have revealed that Black will be heavily pushed upon his return to in-ring action.

Black will be having his return match at the upcoming Extreme Rules PPV, allegedly against former US Champion Cesaro. While Cesaro is a very talented Superstar, there is a high chance this match will merely be a one-off to get Black over before he moves on to bigger and better things.

#2 Shayna Baszler

The Queen of Spades, Shayna Baszler is the undisputed empress of NXT right now. Joined by her two loyal friends, the NXT Women's Champion has been running rough shot on the NXT Women's division, obliterating anyone who comes in her path.

It can be argued that Baszler has been booked like a monster in NXT, and it is high time she makes her main roster debut. With reports stating that Paul Heyman is highly keen on Baszler, her main event call-up might be closer than we think.

#1 Ronda Rousey

The bond between Ronda Rousey and Paul Heyman is no secret. The two are very fond of working with each other and it can be assured that Heyman will have huge things planned for Rousey once she returns.

In fact, it has been reported that The Baddest Woman On The Planet may actually be contemplating cutting short her ongoing sabbatical, to return sooner as she is very excited to work with Paul Heyman.
