5) Bobby Lashley
Another name that came to my mind pretty quickly when making this list was Bobby Lashley. Lashley has been decent since returning to WWE but I think Heyman could take him to another level.
The MMA connection between Brock and Bobby is there. This wouldn’t be a tough transition for Heyman as he could still say a lot of the same stuff. I think giving Lashley a mouthpiece would really help him out right now. I personally am just not a fan of Lashley on the mic.
I also think it would be fun to see Lashley vs Lesnar in a year or two after Brock returns. Heyman managing Lashley could set that up for down the road.
4) Braun Strowman
Braun Strowman is a person who I could see WWE pairing with Paul Heyman. Braun has a major amount of potential and has been great over the past few years. His mix of size and athleticism is truly incredible. He is only going to get better as he gains more experience.
Braun reminds me a lot of Brock. Brock isn’t a bad promo at all but there is something about Heyman as his hype man that just works. I think it would be similar to Heyman and Braun. I don’t think that Strowman necessarily needs Paul as his mouthpiece but it just seems like it could elevate his character in the end.
Strowman is WWE’s new monster and I could see a pairing with Heyman working. Would be a fun dynamic to see.
3) Asuka
A name that instantly came into my mind for potential Paul Heyman clients was Asuka. I think that if Heyman was going to be paired with a female talent, Asuka would be a serious candidate.
WWE fans know how dominant that Asuka can be from her time in NXT. Since being called up to the main roster, her stock has dropped a little bit.
I think a Heyman-Asuka pairing would be money. Heyman would help fans connect with Asuka on the microphone. We already know that Asuka can back it up inside of the squared circle.
I think that Heyman could take Asuka’s career to the next level. Would also be fun to see Heyman with a female client.
Use the buttons below for more potential Superstars who could be Paul Heyman’s next client.
I don’t think it should be Ronda. Too much like Brock. I would love for it to be Asuka especially if she is more NXT cocky, dangerous, and serious heel Asuka with the occasional Japanese outbursts. I don’t think Roman should be the next Heyman guy. He should just be a heel. Imagine him after winning the title at SS coming to a loud booing crowd (you know it’s going to be like Raw after Mania) and he just tells the crowd f#$k you and speaks from the heart about the years of hatred towards him and putting the universe in their place. Drops the mic and walks away.
