What if Daniel Bryan becomes a Paul Heyman guy?

#3 Paul Heyman straddles brands

Paul Heyman could be uniquely positioned to work Raw and SmackDown simultaneously.

Paul Heyman’s character deciding to work with Daniel Bryan would seem to signal that he would be breaking from Brock Lesnar—a sensible enough proposition given that Lesnar is only around part-time and may be disappearing altogether sooner than later, and WWE may get more mileage out of him backing a full-time talent.

Another possibility, however, would be Paul Heyman being that oddball character to work both brands. If he were to have been won over by Bryan’s cunning in cheating to beat AJ Styles or be impressed by the fight he puts up against Lesnar, there could be a scenario in which he becomes the advocate for both men, and winds up working Monday and Tuesday nights. The gimmick of managing both brands’ world champions would be a unique one and befitting a guy who is undeniably WWE’s top manager of this era.
