It comes as no surprise that Roman Reigns is seen as the favourite to leave WrestleMania 34 with the Universal Championship. This is down to Brock Lesnar reportedly set to make a return to the UFC while his WWE contract is also set to expire.
However, while all of the focus is rightfully on The Beast Incarnate and what could be in store for his potential final WrestleMania, there’s still a huge question mark hovering over Paul Heyman and what could be in store for him.
FUTURE
It’s already been confirmed that Heyman’s contract is also set to expire. However, there’s a chance that he signs a new deal with the company and if that happens, the expectation is that he could find himself a new client and remain in his role as an on-screen advocate.
Already, there have been claims that Heyman could end up as the advocate for either The Big Dog or Ronda Rousey - as they are two stars that make complete sense to have Heyman as their genius mouthpiece.
However, when speaking to USA Today’s For The Win, Heyman admitted that he would be willing to stay to manage the right client, but that doesn’t mean he’s confirming his intention to stay in WWE.
If anything, it'll be down to Vince McMahon, claiming that he won't force Heyman to work with just anyone.
CREDIBILITY
According to Still Real To Us, he said: “Yes, I would have to be invested in that person first.
"B, I think I have established such credibility in the things that I say with Brock Lesnar, that I don’t envision Vince McMahon forcing someone to be paired with me - because unless I truly believe in that person, I don’t think Vince would want me to advocate for them.
“I can, with great candour, tell you I have no idea WrestleMania for either one of us in this business, because Brock is obviously eyeballing a return to the Octagon. It’s no secret now. I’m developing projects in a co-production between my agency, the Looking 4 Larry agency, and Roy Bank’s Banca Studio, to pitch to networks.
“Whether that means April 8th is the last day in the industry? I don’t know yet, and I’m very comfortable with that because it just allows us to laser-focus on putting together the greatest main event possible for this year’s WrestleMania.”
It sounds like Heyman potentially staying in WWE could come down to having the perfect WWE star as his client.
