The myth of being a 'Paul Heyman Guy' was tarnished in the early Tens when several WWE Superstars floundered despite their association with the veteran. While CM Punk was already an established name when Heyman managed him during this time, the latter's greatest contribution was being the advocate to Brock Lesnar.
All of that changed during the pandemic, as The Beast Incarnate quietly retired following WrestleMania 36, and Paul Heyman surprised the wrestling world by uniting with Roman Reigns, who was, up until that point, a babyface.
The Wiseman and The Tribal Chief are still going strong in 2023, but if history has taught us anything, it's that the veteran will eventually turn on Reigns. When the question was raised who Paul Heyman should manage next, several names were brought up, including Ronda Rousey, Solo Sikoa, and current AEW star MJF:

Paul Heyman will forever be remembered for being the pioneer of Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) and also for his run in the Stamford-based promotion alongside Brock Lesnar, CM Punk, and Roman Reigns.
When current AEW World Champion MJF was interviewed by Sam Roberts on NotSam Wrestling, he was asked about his relationship with Paul Heyman:
"I can’t say whether or not we’ve talked, but what I will say, I’ve done some Jewish geography, we are distantly related," MJF said. [H/T EWrestlingNews]
MJF has shown interest in signing with the global juggernaut in the past. However, he has also disclosed that he only cares about money, and it doesn't matter which company he wrestles for.
