5 Top Contenders to be Paul Heyman's Next Client

#3 Ronda Rousey

Despite some being wary of just how she’d cope in the “sports entertainment” business, it’s fair to say that Ronda Rousey has silenced any doubters. While she’s clearly still a work in progress, Rousey has been phenomenal in everything that she’s done under the WWE umbrella so far.

The former UFC star’s in-ring performances have been stunning, and her mic work has gotten better with each passing week. But still, Rousey is nowhere near what you’d label “good” on the mic just yet. And that’s, of course, where Paul Heyman could come in and work wonders.

Heyman’s time with Brock Lesnar clearly saw Brock’s real-life amateur wrestling and UFC antics utilized in a way to make him feel like a truly one-of-a-kind, special talent, and Paul E. could pull from that exact same playbook for Ronda Rousey; instead focussing on Rousey’s Olympic judo background in addition to her UFC successes.

If Rousey and Heyman were to link up, chances are that would require a heel turn for Rowdy Ronda. Given how receptive the WWE fan base has been to Rousey so far, it doesn’t look like a heel turn is on the cards any time soon. Then again, if handled correctly, just such a turn could easily materialize before 2018 is out – Rousey becoming the no-nonsense, silent, ass-kicking new client of the maniacal Paul Heyman.
