Paul Heyman’s Next WWE Client

WWE

After becoming a key member of WWE television since he joined Roman Reigns as the Wise Man back in 2020, Paul Heyman finds himself now without an obvious client to latch himself on to.

Brock Lesnar retired at SummerSlam, and Paul Heyman also distanced himself from the Vision after they aligned with Maxxine Dupri on Raw, so he’s all on his own right now.

However, that likely won’t last long, with Heyman almost surely set to return to management soon with a new, or old, client by his side.

Here are some WWE stars we could see become the next Paul Heyman clients.

Bron Breakker

Despite severing ties with the Vision, Heyman has remained allies with Bron Breakker, with them sharing backstage segments together over the past few weeks.

Bron has confronted Heyman backstage over his mutual respect with Oba Femi after Oba was endorsed by Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, taking exception with the belief that Oba is the future of WWE.

Heyman continues to be a devil on the shoulder of Bron Breakker, though he is no longer accompanying him to the ring for his matches.

If WWE wants to reheat Bron, they could put him and Heyman back together once the Vision falls apart.

Oba Femi

Paul Heyman has also been seen speaking with Oba Femi backstage following SummerSlam and Oba defeating the Beast in his final match.

With WWE cementing Oba as the ‘next next big thing’, the company may not be able to resist beating that comparison over the head and pairing Oba up with Heyman.

Heyman being in the corner would add an extra wrinkle to the eventual title match between he and Roman Reigns in the future.

Pairing Oba off with anyone right now would be a bad move, but an Oba and Heyman pairing is something I can’t imagine WWE turning down.

Bronson Reed

One member of the Vision that we have not seen a lot of over the past six months is Bronson Reed, with the Auszilla still prepping for his return.

Reed suffered a torn bicep back in February during an Elimination Chamber Qualifying match, and having missed six months of action, is likely set to return any day now.

The Vision is an entirely different group since Reed went down injured, and it’s easy to imagine a world where he doesn’t approve of the new direction under Austin Theory and Maxxine Dupri.

If WWE doesn’t want to keep Reed as part of the Vision, he and Paul Heyman could continue their partnership as a solo act.

Jordynne Grace

Paul Heyman was the key featured character in this year’s My Rise storyline in WWE 2k26, with Heyman advocating for a dominant champion in both the men’s and women’s versions of the story.

While Heyman and Bron Breakker’s partnership was explored in the men’s story, the women’s saw Jordynne Grace as the unstoppable Juggernaut and first official Paul Heyman Girl.

Jordynne noted in an interview that she is pitching to make the partnership a real one, which would add instant starpower to the roster.

Jordynne has not been on TV in a while on SmackDown, so now is the right time to potentially reheat her.

Randy Orton

Of all the top stars in WWE’s modern era that have had a run at the top of the card as a heel, the one that stands out as never having a true partnership with Paul Heyman is Randy Orton.

Typically a lone wolf, we saw Randy bring a hype man into his life following his heel turn in March prior to WrestleMania 42, which brought us the pairing of Orton and Pat McAfee.

Orton is now back, and is out to be the best, most dangerous version of himself to defeat and deny Cody Rhodes greatness, and Heyman himself has a long history with Rhodes.

There’s arguably no-one better to bring that side out of Orton than the Wise Man.

Keanu Carver

Keanu Carver has burst onto the scene in NXT in recent months, with him filling the role of monster on the roster after the call ups of Bron Breakker and later Oba Femi.

While Carver himself is a great prospect with a lot of upside, he is far less of a complete package right now compared to names like Breakker and Oba on the main roster.

Breakker and Femi would thrive with or without Heyman, with Heyman’s association even likely hampering the package of Oba Femi on the main roster.

However, if WWE hopes to recreate Heyman with a young debuting star, Carver could easily be that guy.
