One of the most impressive things about Paul Heyman is that he can wear so many different hats in the pro wrestling industry. His role as Brock Lesnar's manager is more limited nowadays, because he's not exactly required to try and get the guy over like he was back in 2002. That doesn't stop him from being just as effective as he was back then.

Before Lesnar stepped into a match against both Luke Harper and Bray Wyatt, Heyman entered a stunning verbal performance as he introduced his client. "Fighting out of the conqueror's corner" was an awesome line, and the whole thing just came across like a more over-the-top UFC introduction.

That's awesome, because it lends itself well to the idea that Brock Lesnar is a violent, foreboding machine of a fighter. Even Wyatt and Harper had to suppress smiles as Heyman reeled his head back and lost himself in the moment. There's absolutely no reason why - dependent on Lesnar continuing as a babyface - this cannot become ripe for fan interaction.
