Former WWE champion, CM Punk,and Paul Heyman are two of the top stars in professional wrestling. In 2012, CM Punk’s rise to prominence was closely tied to Paul Heyman, who managed him during a pivotal period.
Heyman’s involvement was crucial in Punk’s historic WWE Championship reign, which lasted over 434 days. Heyman’s managerial skills helped Punk establish himself as a top star and a major draw for WWE. Punk left the promotion in 2014 and returned last year. Meanwhile, he has regularly visited NXT and the WWE Performance Center, where he is seen with NXT stars.
Paul Heyman, on the other hand, has always been supporting both current and emerging talents within WWE. He is known for his willingness to mentor and guide wrestlers. Recently, former WWE NXT champion Bron Breakker opened up about how CM Punk and Paul Heyman have been instrumental in his transition to the main roster.

Bron Breakker, who joined WWE’s main roster earlier this year, has made a strong impact. After the WWE Draft in April, where he was drafted to Raw, Breakker began targeting stars, such as Ricochet and Ilja Dragunov, overpowering them with ease. He then focused on Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn.
Breakker, who has made a significant impact on the main roster, recently appeared on TV Insider. There, he described how Paul Heyman and CM Punk have supported him since his arrival, highlighting their crucial roles in his transition to the main roster. He stated, “It has been a combination of a lot of people. Paul Heyman is someone who has been a crucial hand in me on the main roster. CM Punk as well. So many people. The whole locker room has been so helpful in some form or fashion. Since being up here, it has been great to be a part of everything.”
At WWE SummerSlam, Breakker secured a major victory by defeating Sami Zayn and capturing the Intercontinental Championship. Recently, he successfully defended his title in a two-out-of-three falls match against Zayn on Raw.
