Paul Heyman is that guy who could talk himself out of almost every situation. He’s Aaron Eckhart in “Thank You For Smoking.” The point is that he’s pretty damn good on the microphone, and he’s made quite a career out of that skill.

His association as the advocate for Brock Lesnar has also paid dividends for Heyman. Recently, he appeared on ESPN to help promote his return fight at UFC 200 against Mark Hunt.

You can read the full interview right here. Below are some of the highlights:

What feuds do you want to see for Brock Lesnar next in WWE? 

“Obviously, whoever holds the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Once you get past that, just look at the NXT roster and you’ll see guys like Samoa Joe and [Finn] Balor and all this talent that is coming up and about to break into the main roster. I would love to see these guys. I would love to see modern-day Brock Lesnar against modern-day Randy Orton. And I still don’t think the public is tired of seeing Lesnar against John Cena.”

Which NXT talent do you believe is destined for big things on the main roster?

“I think Balor is ready to be a main event superstar. I think Samoa Joe has always been a main event superstar. That NXT roster is filled with A-listers who are ready to move up and make a significant impact on both Raw and SmackDown. You seriously take a look and you realize how well positioned WWE is for this draft because there is so much talent in NXT. To go even further, NXT is practically guaranteed to lose not only its top tier, but particularly its top 1-A tier in this draft (or six months after the draft). Yet nobody in NXT is sweating this because the depth is so deep with A-level talent right now.”
