5 Best Wrestler/Manager Pairings In Wrestling Right Now
1. Roman Reigns & Paul Heyman
It's not just the best wrestler/manager pairing in wrestling. It's one of, if not, the most compelling storyline in the business.
When Roman Reigns returned at SummerSlam 2020 as a heel, the collective fandom held its breath. Surely, the WWE would quickly revert to type and push Reigns as the uber-face they had failed with so many times. Within a week, they aligned him with long-term rival Paul Heyman, solidifying the turn and baffling their audience.
In the near fifteen months since their alliance, Roman Reigns has evolved into the superstar he always should have been and has solidified himself as the final boss for anyone looking for glory. The list of people he has vanquished is impressive, all the while Heyman has watched on in fear.
During his alliance with Brock Lesnar, Heyman was never as subservient to 'The Beast' as he is to his 'Tribal Chief', only intensifying the very real threat that Reigns is. Their chemistry is electric and the genuine fear Heyman has around Reigns is masterful storytelling.
With Brock Lesnar's return driving a wedge between Heyman and Reigns, we are currently in the midst of the most compelling storyline the WWE has told in years and it makes sense to keep it running until WrestleMania 38.
Whether Heyman is still by Reigns' side by then, well that is another story entirely.
