Given Brock Lesnar's limited WWE schedule these days, it'd be understandable if Paul Heyman tuned out of everything else in the company and only cared when he was showing up to deliver one of those killer in-ring promos. That's not Heyman's way, and he proved it during an interview with Paste Magazine.

Throughout the chat, the one-time leader of ECW's hardcore revolution outlined his vision for WWE's future by namedropping several stars he believes are top-tier. One of those acts was The Usos, and that may come as a surprise to some.

Heyman described Jimmy and Jey as "must see" and "next at the top of the box office food chain".

Further, he said he couldn't take his attention away from them whenever The Usos were on screen. Talk about a glowing recommendation: Heyman pretty much said the SmackDown Tag Champs were his favourite act on the roster not named Brock Lesnar.
