Superstars of the week - WWE RAW 30/9/13

Paul Heyman

Paul Heyman

The Mad Scientist of professional wrestling was in his element tonight and that meant that there was a lot of ….talking on his part, which can only mean good things. He was interviewed backstage after Punk had opened the show, making outright threats at Heyman again. In response, Heyman dared Punk to make a move on him while he was going to make his presence felt throughout the night. Later on, in a backstage segment, Heyman came up with a gem to intrigue the watching populace when he said he planned to propose to Ryback, who had saved his life a couple of weeks back.

In the ring, it was a display of pure showmanship when Heyman trolled the entire crowd, both in attendance and watching at home, as he set up with a right but delivered with a resounding left. What started off as a scene from some romantic movie, ended up being a proposal for Ryback to join the ranks of being a ‘Paul Heyman Guy’. It was funny, entertaining and sold the Punk-Heyman feud even further. Heyman was visibly excited when talking about Ryback’s effect on him and when he went down on his knee to ‘propose’ to Ryback, it was just the perfect time for Punk to spoil their plans and make a name for himself. And he did! Just spectacular…
