If it ever came to making up his own four-man Survivor Series tag team of "Heyman guys", legendary WWE manager Paul Heyman would confidently pick himself.
But not necessarily because Heyman would want to wrestle. Rather, it's because Heyman fully trusts that the other three "Heyman guys" would take care of business.
During an interview with Josh Martinez from Z100 (h/t WrestlingInc.com), Heyman had a short and sweet explanation as to why he would choose himself, Roman Reigns and Jimmy and Jey Uso for a four-man "Heyman guys" Survivor Series team.
"Roman Reigns, The Usos and I will even through myself in there because I will never need to tag in," Heyman said. "The three of them can handle any four beings on the face of the planet."
It's noteworthy in that Heyman didn't mention Brock Lesnar, his former client. Of course, The Beast Incarnate, who turned babyface in his return at SummerSlam 2021, is now feuding with the Universal Champion.
Lesnar appeared on last week's episode of Friday Night SmackDown and confronted Heyman and The Bloodline. He delivered an F5 to Heyman after the latter failed to answer if he would grant Lesnar a Universal Championship match against Reigns. At the end of the show, The Tribal Chief accepted Lesnar's challenge.
Survivor Series traditionally features Raw Champions vs SmackDown champions. Assuming WWE keeps that format this year, it's obviously unlikely we'll see The Bloodline in a match together at the Nov. 21 event. If neither title changes hands, Reigns would face WWE Champion Big E, and The Usos would face Riddle and Randy Orton, The Raw Tag Team Champions.
Have To Include Lesnar
For storyline purposes, it made sense for Heyman to not mention Lesnar here. The two are clearly not working together anymore at this time. But in a real-life decision, Heyman would surely have to include the future Hall of Famer. Again, no wrestler has a more accomplished and decorated history with Heyman as his manager than Lesnar.
It'll be interesting to see if Heyman and Lesnar ever reunite, especially if the latter works as a babyface long-term.
