10 WWE Questions You Most Want Answered (Jan 24)

5. Paul Heyman's Role After Lesnar Leaves

From @pip1984: With Brock leaving, who could be the next "Paul Heyman Guy"? Does Roman Reigns need a mouth piece to succeed or maybe a NXT talent?
There's a lot speculation that Lesnar is leaving WWE after WrestleMania 31 and that Heyman will be all alone. They could keep going with Heyman as the "advocate" of a wrestler or multiple wrestlers, but perhaps they can go in another direction. The role that I think Heyman should be in post-WrestleMania is that of the on screen GM. The Authority angle should end for good after WM31 when Sting beats Triple H. The next night on Raw, Vince McMahon should name Heyman the GM of both Raw & Smackdown so that they have a great talker that's a credibility heel out there. They love heel GMs, so might as well be the best talker out there. If Heyman was to go back to being an advocate of others in WWE, the duo of Cesaro and Tyson Kidd intrigues me just because they are so talented, yet could use that extra boost to get to that next level. Perhaps a guy like Bad News Barrett could benefit from being around Heyman too. That Roman Reigns idea doesn't work because he is a face and putting a manager with a face just doesn't work as well. Putting a NXT guy with Heyman could work too. Anybody could benefit from it whether it was Kevin Owens that is polished or more of a physical specimen like Baron Corbin, who could thrive with a mouth piece.
