Seth Rollins is the new ‘Paul Heyman’ guy, and here is why.
Last week, during the main event of WrestleMania 41’s night one, fans all over the globe witnessed Paul Heyman turn his back on both CM Punk and Roman Reigns to join hands with The Visionary.
Soon after, on the 21st April episode of Raw, another former champion joined Heyman and Rollins’ faction. Former Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker has become a brand-new addition to the group.
In a recent appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, Rollins addressed his new partnership with Heyman. Calling the relationship “strictly business”, he shared the reasons behind the team-up,
“This is a business relationship and that’s the beauty of it. I don’t want to get too deep into it, but you have the two greatest minds in the history of our industry coming together to create and push forward for the future of our industry. Roman Reigns ain’t around enough. CM Punk is not reliable enough. I am both of those things. Paul Heyman is dedicated to this industry. He will always do what is best for business, and so will I. That is a nice arrangement.
“I’m smarter than those two, Punk and Roman. I’m not worried about any betrayals or any chaos like that. We got this thing dialed in. I’m very excited to see where it leads us.”

While Rollins and Breakker stood tall over Punk and Reigns, their faction’s future plans remain unclear as WWE’s next PLE, Backlash 2025, approaches May 10.
Seth Rollins Is Concerned About Future WWE Stars
Appearing on the Outta Pocket podcast, Seth Rollins spoke about WWE’s NIL system and expressed his concerns about the future WWE stars.
“My biggest concern, and I’ll try not to expound on this too much, but my biggest concern is the generation that is being groomed now, we are dipping our toe heavily into the NIL world. Taking a lot of college athletes who, maybe after college, there is no future for them as far as money in sports, so we offer them deals to get paid while they are in college to come and maybe be part of WWE when they are older.
There is nothing wrong with training these people from scratch, I have no problem with that, but couple that with our live event schedule. We used to do them every weekend, sometimes two shows every day on Saturdays and Sundays, there would be two running simultaneously in different towns.
That’s where I learned my craft and the art of wrestling and storytelling. If you don’t get the repetitions to learn that, I don’t care what kind of athlete you are or how impressive your vertical leap is or how many times you can bench press 400 pounds, it’s not going to translate because you don’t know how to tell stories. You might be a hell of a performer, but ‘I need a promo. Go out there, five minutes, get it done.’”
