Paul Heyman Says WWE Has The Greatest Collection Of Women In Wrestling Or MMA History

Paul Heyman is a big fan of the women’s division in WWE, labelling them as the most talented group of women in pro wrestling or MMA history. The WWE women’s division is arguably at its height right now, with the women’s feuds and storylines as loved or more so than those among the men’s division. That includes NXT, where the women’s division tends to be the highlight of weekly TV.

Heyman was asked during his interview with VGC about NXT alumna and relatively recent main-roster call up Jordynne Grace being managed by him within WWE 2K26. He noted that Grace is one of many great women’s stars on the roster and he would be honored to be paired with any of them within the game. You can see highlights below:

On Who Would Be the First ‘Paul Heyman Girl’ On the Current Roster:

“To say that there is a female in the locker room today that should be the first ‘Paul Heyman Girl’ under the management and tutelage of Paul Heyman would be a slight to the other women in this locker room.”

There has never been a time in the history of WWE, professional wrestling, sports entertainment, or mixed martial arts that there has been such a ridiculously talented roster of females under one roof at the same time. I could sit here and run down all — or actually, I won’t even say run down because that’s a negative. Run up all the names that are on this roster. Start with Rhea Ripley and Jade Cargill. You can go to Bianca Belair and AJ Lee. You can go to Nattie and Maxine Dupri. You can go to Lash Legend and Nia Jax. You can go to the Bella Twins. You can go to Liv Morgan. You can go to Raquel. You can go to — I mean, my god. I can sit here for the next 20 minutes and rattle off these names. This is the most hyper-talented group of women in history all under one roof.”

On Grace Being Managed By Him In WWE 2K26 MyRiSE:

“Jordynne Grace was the choice of 2K, a splendid choice indeed. What a magnificent athlete and performer Jordynne Grace is. I’m honored that I have a chance to work with her within WWE 2K26. And there are many other women, too many to mention even though I mentioned a few before. But too many to mention that I would be honored to work with within this video game. Because just like in real life, the the women’s roster right now in WWE is incomparable to any other roster in any other sport or form of entertainment in history.”
