6. Business Knowledge
Both inside and outside of kayfabe, Paul Heyman is one of the most intelligent and knowledgeable figures in the professional wrestling business. Heyman has been a part of WWE for a very long time indeed and has seen it develop from a warring wrestling promotion into the industry-dominating juggernaut that it is today. This breadth of knowledge is truly invaluable to a young talent like Seth Rollins. Heyman can teach the young talent ways to get in the industry and how to ensure he remains at the top of the company. Rollins keeps telling everyone who will listen that he's the future of WWE, but Heyman can tell him exactly how to make that all happen. There's no doubt that Rollins is one of WWE's brightest youngsters, but he needs an experienced hand on his shoulder to keep him on the straight and narrow path to being a real sports entertainment superstar.
