WrestleMania season has officially kicked off and anticipation for the big show is at an all time high. Some of the biggest names in wrestling history have main evented WrestleMania, but over the next few years WWE will have to start putting some fresh faces in those spots.
Paul Heyman talked about the future of WrestleMania during a recent interview with Shak Wrestling, and The Oracle predicted that names like Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Logan Paul and Austin Theory will go on to main event the Show of Shows.
“It’s the same thing I’ve been doing my entire career—is anointing the next generation and solidifying their position on top. I did it in WCW when I knew that Mark Callaway’s future in WCW was not secure and behind WCW’s back passed him to WWE where he became The Undertaker. Did it in WCW when I managed Stone Cold Story—then Stunning Steve Austin—when I brought him into ECW and got him in touch with his inner rage and taught him how to let that rage out on television, which was the impetus of Stone Cold Steve Austin.”
“I did it with a rookie named Brock Lesnar. Did it with an established veteran named CM Punk… I did it with Roman Reigns… who was never understood to be the generational talent—the all-time great, if not even the GOAT—that he truly was. So now, if you look at a trajectory of this industry… there was no doubt that Roman Reigns was going to rule. Okay, who rules next?”
“Well, there are so many spots now at the top of the card. There are so many WrestleMania main event positions that are about to open, that if you look into the future, it’s not just one person. It’s multiple people. It’s Bron Breaker. It’s Bronson Reed. It’s Logan Paul. It’s Austin Theory. How could it not be? The opportunity is there to anoint the next generation of WrestleMania main-eventers—not just the one next WrestleMania main-eventer. It’s plural. And no one has the history or the cache or the resume or the ability to do that upgrade… more than Paul Heyman.”
