10 Wrestlers That Have Soared Since WWE WrestleMania 35
2. Paul Heyman
Paul Heyman opened WrestleMania 35 alongside Brock Lesnar before 'The Beast' fell to Seth Rollins in a high-octane opener, but his assertion that the two were about to bail for Las Vegas proved to be little more than false posturing for both.
'The Beast' was back by May, controversially winning the Money In The Bank match to claim a shot at the supposed 'Beastslayer' in which he briefly regained his Universal Title before another SummerSlam switch. Heyman, meanwhile, assumed the most power he'd had in the company since a 2002-03 run as SmackDown's head writer. Taking up the role of Raw's Executive Director, the former ECW gaffer (and SmackDown contemporary Eric Bischoff) being brought back to such high-ranking positions shocked the wrestling world, but Heyman's hiring in particular already appears to be paying off.
