Paul Heyman (born September 11, 1965) is an American professional wrestling manager, executive, and former promoter. He is signed to WWE, where he appears on the SmackDown brand.
Born in Scarsdale, New York to a family of Holocaust survivors, Heyman debuted in the professional wrestling business in 1986, becoming known as the CEO and creative force behind the Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) promotion from 1993 until its closure in 2001. Before owning ECW, he was a manager under the ring name Paul E. Dangerously in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and other promotions. He is the co-owner of New York City's Looking4Larry Agency.
In WWE, Heyman has served as manager for a record seven world champions (The Undertaker, Big Show, Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar, CM Punk, Rob Van Dam, and Roman Reigns). Besides Reigns, he also managed several members of the dynastic Anoaʻi family of Samoan professional wrestlers. Critics have praised his managing and promo skills.[2][3][4][5][6] He has also competed sporadically in matches, usually as a comedic foil, including in the main event of the 2002 Rebellion event.
Heyman was inducted into the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame in 2005 and the WWE Hall of Fame on April 5, 2024.[7]
