7 Ways Paul Heyman Can Elevate Seth Rollins

2. Elevate Promo Quality

There are very few people in the history of WWE who can match Paul Heyman on the microphone. His work on the stick over the course of his WWE career has been nothing short of exceptional, with many of his promos considered to be amongst the greatest in history. Heyman can sell just about anything to the WWE Universe. He's even been able to salvage a semi-credible championship reign for Brock Lesnar, who has been absent for months at a time since winning the title in August. Seth Rollins has really come into his own with a microphone in his hand during 2014, but he will be even better with Heyman at his side. It has often been the case that Rollins has spent more time talking than wrestling this year, often wrapped up in the unbearably long promo segments that seem to open every episode of Raw. The help of Heyman would allow Rollins to let his wrestling do the talking, when the cowardly heel wants it to. Whilst managers are often used to prop up those with poor promo skills, the likes of Heyman can be doubly effective when coupled with a star who is already proficient on the mic. The Rollins and Heyman combination could cook up some of the best promo work of 2015.
