At WWE WrestleMania 41, Seth Rollins became the latest “Paul Heyman Guy” as Heyman betrayed his two former clients, CM Punk and Roman Reigns.
The following night on Raw, it was revealed this wouldn’t be a one-on-one alliance – Bron Breakker also joined the fold.
What began as a partnership could be evolving into a full-blown stable, with Heyman seemingly building his own modern-day Heenan Family.
Here are the WWE stars who could join a new “Heyman Guys” faction.
5. Austin Theory
In a recent interview with Billboard, Randy Orton was asked about Paul Heyman’s new stable and who he would include.
One of the names Orton mentioned was Austin Theory, arguably a surprising choice. Theory, who initially had a rocket ship strapped to his back under the previous regime, has seen his career stall in recent years.
Seemingly according to Orton, now could be the perfect time for WWE to repackage Theory by placing him in its hottest stable.
After all, he does have history with Rollins, who recruited him as one of his ‘disciples’ back in 2020.

4. Andrade
Andrade is perhaps a more natural fit for Seth Rollins’ new group.
With his in-ring ability and high-level charisma, Andrade would carve a unique role in this star-studded group.
Moreover, according to the Wrestling Observer, during his original run with WWE, Andrade was considered one of Paul Heyman’s guys when he served as Executive Director of Raw.
Though Andrade has been on SmackDown recently attempting to align with Los Garza, a move to Raw and a spot in Heyman’s group could give his career a much-needed jumpstart.

3. Myles Borne
In his Billboard interview, Randy Orton also mentioned NXT’s Myles Borne as a potential fit for the group.
This was perhaps an obvious choice, given the 25-year-old’s similarities to Orton himself.
Borne has crafted his own in-ring style by emulating Orton’s moveset and mannerisms, but he brings clear charisma and slickness to his in-ring work that sets him apart from others on the NXT roster.
A place within the group as its young upstart could be exactly what Borne needs to develop his own character and elevate his career.

2. Aleister Black
Stylistically, having Aleister Black join the group may seem incongruous, but he was also a “Heyman guy” behind the scenes during his first run with WWE.
Since returning post-WrestleMania, Black has entered into a feud with The Miz and Carmelo Hayes.
However, being slotted at this level may not be what the 39-year-old Dutchman expected when making his highly anticipated move back to WWE from AEW.
Joining Heyman’s group could elevate this talented worker to a more prominent position on the card.

1.Ricky Saints
There may be no better fit for the new group than NXT’s North American Champion, Ricky Saints.
Stylistically, the 35-year-old former AEW star matches the group’s vibe – charismatic, flamboyant, and possessing the in-ring quality expected of its members.
Saints could be the perfect breakout star, potentially even challenging the group’s leader, Seth Rollins, down the line.
A move from NXT to WWE’s main roster would benefit both Saints’ career and the group as a whole.
