WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman has a history of backstabbing his clients. He has turned his back on megastars such as Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and, most recently, Seth Rollins during his legendary career.
However, Heyman’s impact on his clients is also undeniable. He has catapulted the likes of Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns to superstardom during his stints with them. Hence, it does not come as a surprise that almost every WWE Superstar wants to join forces with The Wiseman in the hope of becoming the top act in the company.
Recently, Kairouz Bros uploaded a YouTube short in which he asked The Street Profits, Damian Priest, and current WWE United States Champion Sami Zayn if they would consider linking up with Paul Heyman despite his history of turning on his clients.
Here’s what they had to say:
Montez Ford: “Yes. Why not? Has he done anyone wrong? Has he led people to the promised land? Multiple times!”
He added, “You always see him in the main event. Isn’t that what we[‘re] all here for? To be main eventers? It’s like a casino; once you win, you’ve got to check out.”
Damian Priest: “Yes, he has his ways about him, but I’m a Paul Heyman guy. I have no problem with him advocating for me.” When asked if he would be worried that The Oracle would stab him in his back, The Archer of Infamy said, “That’s part of this business. Everyone does that. I’ve been guilty of that, too. You can’t deny what he can do for your career.”
Sami Zayn: “One day you go, ‘Never in a million years…!’ and then one day, you find yourself there again. I’m not ruling it out. Absolutely not!”
When asked if he would consider joining Paul Heyman, the Canadian said, “Yeah, for sure, he backstabs everyone. I think all his relationships are very transactional.”
Heyman is currently a part of The Vision faction. After Bron Breakker and ‘Big’ Bronson Reed turned their backs on Seth Rollins on this week’s WWE RAW, The Oracle decided to side with them. It will be fascinating to see what the future holds for the faction in the coming weeks.
