The world of WWE has seen many wrestling managers come and go. But there has been only one who has managed more WWE Champions than any other. Ladies and Gentlemen, the man is none other than Paul Heyman. Hailing from New York City, he stepped foot into pro wrestling business during his early teens.

Even since then, he has strived for greatness and excellence and nothing else. He spent years mastering the art of managerial and booking roles and today no one does the job better than Heyman himself. That being said, Mick Foley recently revealed the quintessential quality that makes Heyman one of the very best at what he does.

“The year before my first time as a commentator… and I did it with Joey Styles and Paul [Heyman] was in my ear and he was so easy to work with, really bring it out, making me feel comfortable in a way that Vince [McMahon] does not at all,” he said.

Over the course of many years, the former advocate has worked with plenty of top stars – CM Punk and Brock Lesnar, to name a few – and all those stars have accomplished tremendous success under his leadership and management.

Currently, he serves as the special counsel to Roman Reigns.

Paul Heyman helped Roman Reigns conquer WWE

Reigns returned at SummerSlam 2020 and shortly after that, he aligned himself with Heyman. Ever since then, he has been unstoppable. The 57-year-old manager has left no stone unturned to make sure that his Tribal Chief resides at the top of the ladder.

Clearly, his efforts to push Reigns to great heights have paid off just like for all the others he managed in the past years. With his Special Counsel along his side, ‘The Head of the Table’ built himself The Bloodline, which grew so strong and dominating that the WWE Universe acknowledges it as a great success.

But the cracks in The Bloodline are widening with each passing week. Thus it may seem that the empire Heyman helped Reigns build for years might finally crumble. But fear not, Heyman always comes up with a plan to save the day.
