Career[change | change source]

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.
