WWE Stars To Join New Paul Heyman Faction

WWE

The past few months have seen Paul Heyman become more and more detached from The Vision on WWE Raw.

While initially preoccupied with Brock Lesnar and his feud with Oba Femi, Heyman still feels resistant to return to the group’s side and truly represent them as their ‘Oracle.’

With some interesting teases regarding potential new clients in recent weeks, here are some WWE stars who could potentially join a new Paul Heyman faction soon.

Cody Rhodes

On the Friday, August 21 episode of WWE SmackDown, Cody Rhodes dropped a very interesting line while going back-and-forth with Randy Orton on the microphone.

With ‘The Viper’ doubting Rhodes’ killer instinct, ‘The American Nightmare’ vowed that he would be the one to take out his mentor, before curiously stating “that’s not a prediction, it’s a spoiler.”

This line is, of course known to be one of Paul Heyman’s many catchphrases, and Rhodes will have been well aware of that when he said it, as well as the speculation that would ensue afterwards.

Fans have long pondered whether Rhodes and Heyman may one day align together, and with the former three-time Undisputed WWE Champion now showing off more of an edge to his character, perhaps it may soon be the time for that alliance to come to fruition.

Oba Femi

Oba Femi’s slaying of ‘The Beast’ Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam 2026 led to a new found respect between the two men, as well as between ‘The Ruler’ and Lesnar’s advocate Paul Heyman.

Heyman has been very careful not to say it to Bron Breakker, but it’s seeming like ‘The Wiseman’ is of the belief that Femi is indeed the future of WWE, much like the audience are based on the reactions the Nigerian star receives each and every week.

If that is what Heyman is thinking, then Bron Breakker will look to change his mind at Sunday Night’s Main Event when he takes on Femi for the first time.

If Femi were to defeat Breakker however, it’s very difficult to see Heyman willingly returning to his former client’s side, when he could instead attach himself to WWE’s ‘Next Big Thing.’

Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed

While that is one scenario for Sunday Night’s Main Event, there is another which could play out where Breakker defeats Femi with some help from injured tag team partner Bronson Reed.

Reed is reportedly nearing a return to WWE TV, with a return potentially coming as soon as Sunday Night’s Main Event on September 6.

Bron Breakker has looked somewhat disinterested in The Vision, which is more focused on Austin Theory and Maxxine Dupri’s romance than becoming the future of WWE. However, the return of Reed could change that.

The Vision looked its most threatening when Breakker and Reed were leading the charge alongside Heyman, so ‘The Oracle’ may decide to try and recapture that magic and branch the pair off in their own direction, rather than remain in The Vision.

Jordynne Grace

Although Maxxine Dupri has now become the first official female member of The Vision, there may be someone else Paul Heyman may have an eye on should he branch off and begin his own new faction.

Despite arriving on SmackDown with much promise, Jordynne Grace has seen her momentum on the main roster stagnate in recent months, and she hasn’t been seen on the blue brand since the April 17 episode, where she failed to become the number one contender for the Women’s United States Championship.

With her time currently being spent competing on WWE Main Event, Grace is in need of a creative lifeline, and an allegiance with Paul Heyman could be exactly what the doctor ordered.

Paul Heyman has gone on record to say he’s a “huge fan” of ‘The Juggernaut’ and with the former TNA Knockout’s Champion struggling to connect with the main roster audience thus far, perhaps a heel turn and run under Heyman’s tutelage could turn things around for her career.

Sami Zayn

Roman Reigns and The Usos may have reformed The Bloodline in 2026, but there a number of vital pieces missing from the puzzle.

Of course there is Solo Sikoa, who is doing his best to resist rejoining the family right now on WWE TV, but there is also Sami Zayn and Paul Heyman.

Heyman’s relationship with Reigns famously went up in smoke at WrestleMania 41, and there may be a lot of work needed to rebuild that bridge. However, Sami Zayn has been away from the Bloodline drama for some time, so, in storyline, he and Heyman should be on decent enough terms.

With Zayn experiencing injustice after injustice over on SmackDown, he could potentially look to reach out to his former Wiseman in order to turn around his fortunes.

Zilla Fatu

Speaking of The Bloodline, WWE’s most powerful family grew that little bit stronger just under two weeks ago when Zilla Fatu debuted in WWE NXT.

The son of WWE legend Umaga, Zilla has built up a great amount of buzz since beginning his in-ring career only three years ago, and at just 26 years old, appears set for big things in WWE for decades to come.

With Zilla beginning in WWE NXT, it should be at least a year until we see him mixing it up with the rest of The Bloodline on the main roster. However, rather than debuting and immediately falling in line next to Roman Reigns, Fatu could take a page out of ‘The OTC’s’ playbook and recruit the services of Paul Heyman.

If WWE want to establish Zilla immediately as a major player on Raw or SmackDown, they could do far worse than align him with the WWE Hall of Famer.
