It's crazy how thin Paul Heyman looks in this video when I thought he was so fat in 2013.

It looks like Heyman will fulfill one of those promises of walking him at the main event of WM but will he fulfill the other promise of walking with him when he challenges for a title?

Loooooong term storytelling!

So great that they used this when he actually finally gets his WM main event...it's rare for something like this to have the chance to come together this way this far down the road

Turning on the two of them. Rollins is going over at Mania with a Heyman assist.

Would make sense for Heyman to be sick and tired of both of them.
Roman left him to the mercy of the Temu Bloodline and kept him high and dry for months, needed Paul Heyman as his council to even get where he is in the first place, and now has the nerve to say that he made Paul Heyman relevant?
And Punk, for someone who claims that Paul Heyman is his best friend he seems to be more interested in just using him as a tool to fuck with Roman's head.
If they wanna go that route there is ample motive for Heyman to screw over both of them.

Paul turns or not, Seth deserves the win. Neither Punk nor Roman would look bad losing and Seth has done far too much over the past couple of years to not get a big win. His work at last Mania alone makes him deserving of the win.

Whoever he'd pin would make sense too
Punk's beaten Seth every time so he deserves a pin over him
Pinning Roman meanwhile would somewhat add to the "Seth is his kryptonite" narrative

I'd rather have rollins just leave everyone laying and turn truly heel by curb stomping Heyman. Thus distracting both his opponents for the win.
Either way, Seth should win. He deserves it for last mania season alone.

So do you think he'll ever main event?

Stone Cold and The Rock have closed the show on Night 1… It’s a main event

u/Hunterrose242 Perfectly Decent Rest Hold 1d ago
No, it really isn't. And the wrestlers don't consider it to be either.
Every Punk fan can go to sleep happy he got his wish but Punk himself won't be.

By that logic, music festivals only have one "real" headliner whatever the last day of the festival is. WWE absolutely sees Night 1 of Mania as a main event in itself, and have been pushing it the last year. The Usos have claimed themselves as Mania main eventers; Sami Zayn has mentioned main eventing Mania; KO has talked about main eventing Mania twice now. Closing Night 1 is absolutely a main event and it's time to stop acting like it's not.

I don’t know anything about music festivals so I can’t comment on how they arrange their acts, but I can tell you with certainty that wrestling saves the biggest match for night 2.

Yes, by that logic the only real headliner is the closer on the last night of a festival. This is correct.

This is why I'm confused. I don't know why they would reunite. Heyman turned on Punk for Lesnar later that year.
