Last week on Warfare, Paul Heyman and AJ Styles showed there was some kind of alliance or movement in the making within the EBWF Roster. AJ Styles dubbed himself a "Paul Heyman guy", and to end their segment Paul assured there were more Paul Heyman guys in the back, and that they would emerge slowly... Today at bleacher report we give you 10 possible Paul Heyman Guys.
10. Zack Ryder.
Long Island Iced Z has had quite a few opportunities in EBWF but he hasn't really been able to establish himself in the midcard or above. We all know Ryder can really go in the ring, but he needs that little extra something... The EBWF Universe hasn't seen him in weeks, could we see him resurface as a Paul Heyman guy? Only time will tell.
9. Curt Hawkins.
Similar to Zack Ryder, Curt has had some memorable matches and has the undoubted talent to be a star. Paul Heyman could imprint a little astuteness to go along with the evil ways he might have learnt during his time with Kane to thrust him past the glass ceiling of the mid card.
8. Drew McIntyre.
Drew has been really showing a lot of good stuff and his gimmick is something that hasn't been done in quite a while. What if Paul Heyman could Bail him out of handcuffs? He'd be indeed a fine addition to his list of Paul Heyman guys.
7. Alberto del Rio.
Sure, Alberto del Rio has had an okay EBWF career, but reports indicate that his act might have gone stale... Maybe with a proper manager he could revive his EBWF career and turn around his recent bad luck?
6. Kaitlyn.
What? Yes... Kaytlin. We went there. Kaytlin is often seen as AJ Lee's muscle more than anything else. She has a lot of talent and having her turn on her fun sized friend would give the fans some proper entertainment. Who said there couldn't be any Paul Heyman girls?
5. Maryse.
Yes, Maryse was part of the Coallition. We've seen that... But just look at her, last year she was the Queen of the EBWF and this year she is seeing the much younger and also very talented Paige to take her spot. Her recent segments with Tensai could hint she is on the verge of a face turn... Maryse could really use some help from Paul Heyman then, couldn't she?
4. Trent?
There have been several reports about having Trent? turn heel. If EBWF is going with this choice, why not doing so by making him a Paul Heyman guy? There would have to be a gimmick overhaul for him, though.
3. A debutting superstar.
Have you guys thought about a Brock Lesnar Return? A Mr. Anderson return? Maybe even Bully Ray! All of them have "PAUL HEYMAN GUY" Written all over them.
2. CM Punk.
Surprised not to see Punk as the number 1? I'm pretty sure you all thought he'd be the natural choice. Without a slated date for CM Punk's return, what better way to bring him back to reclaim his spot at the top than by having him side with Paul Heyman?
1. Syxx.
Bet you didn't see that coming? At first sight you wouldn't think he an Paul Heyman have anything in common. At age 40, Waltman isn't much of an "up and coming" guy... But as he has clearly stated on every ocassion he gets, he hasn't been the star of the show either... Always overshadowed by others in the nWo and DX, maybe Syxx could be the star with Paul Heyman's aid? Let's remember they have been both part of the most iconic Hardcore Wrestling organizations, ECW and UCW.
Did we miss someone? If you are a Paul Heyman guy drop a comment in the comments box.

Uh, Randy Orton? The guy hasn't been in a main event more than a couple times in the last three years, suddenly Paul Heyman is in the spotlight and the dude is King of the Ring? Randy talking smack about Paul Heyman could just be a work.
