Career
On the May 7, 2012 episode of Raw, Heyman returned to the WWE as Brock Lesnar's legal advisor.[1] When Lesnar left, Heyman aligned himself with CM Punk on the September 3 episode of Raw when he was seen driving a car which Punk entered.[2] He managed Punk until Money in the Bank when Heyman turned on Punk by smashing him with a ladder while he was climbing up another ladder.[3] He returned on the December 30th edition of Raw and returned to being the manager of Brock Lesnar.[4]
On April 6, 2014, Heyman was the manager of Lesnar when Lesnar conquered The Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania XXX. This was the first loss at WrestleMania.[5] Paul Heyman is also the manager of Cesaro, who revealed himself to be a "Paul Heyman guy" on the next Raw.[6]
When Roman Reigns returned at SummerSlam, Paul Heyman decided that he was siding with him on a SmackDown episode. And right there, Roman accepted, only on one conditipn, if Roman signed the contract and defeated both Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman in a Triple Threat match at Payback, then Paul would be officially Roman Reigns' Special Council or Wise Man. And even today, Paul Heyman is still Roman Reigns' Wise Man.
On April 5, 2024, Heyman was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by Roman Reigns.[7]
