5 Top Contenders to be Paul Heyman's Next Client

#1 Kevin Owens

Okay, let’s just get it out there already: Kevin Owens does not need someone to cut promos for him.

One of the benefits of Paul Heyman being attached to a client, is that the former ECW head is able to talk for the talent in question, helping to use his own exquisite promo skills to legitimize his client and make them feel like a big deal. But then again, CM Punk never needed anybody to do his talking for him, and his pairing with Heyman was absolutely fantastic.

You have guys like Curtis Axel or Cesaro who Heyman was paired with in order to vocalise for them, but the addition of Heyman to Punk’s act was a masterstroke in terms of complimenting the Straightedge Superstar and only further pushing how much of the real deal Punk was at that point. So with that in mind, maybe the same could happen to Kevin Owens.

There’s no doubting KO’s in-ring work, and there’s no doubting his ability on the mic, but for whatever reason, the WWE management are yet to really go all-in on Owens. Granted, he was given a run as the Universal Champion, but even then he often felt like an afterthought on the Raw brand.

How better to thrust the Canadian back into the main event spotlight and to have him once again looked at as a major player, than by having Heyman – and the credibility that comes with the former Dangerous Alliance founder – at KO’s side.
