The Advocate was the creative head of RAW when MVP returned to WWE in 2020. Though MVP was initially brought in for the Royal Rumble and another appearance on RAW, it turned out to be a resurgence of the former US Champion’s career, all thanks to Paul Heyman.
Speaking on the The Masked Man Show, Roman Reigns’ special counsel revealed that he looked at MVP as his successor as the lead mouthpiece in the company. Once Heyman realized his on-screen role as Lesnar’s advocate was going to diminish, he wanted MVP to become the next big-time manager.
Ironically, after a brief hiatus, Heyman returned to WWE TV later in 2020 and joined forces with Reigns. He has retained his spot as one of the best managers in the wrestling world ever since.
MVP has become Bobby Lashley’s mouthpiece like Heyman was Brock Lesnar’s
MVP has not only reinvigorated his own career, but he has also helped Bobby Lashley finally reach the next level as a top superstar in WWE. MVP and Lashley’s pairing has often been compared to that of Heyman and Lesnar. The Advocate discussed this similarity in the same interview by stating that he knew the two men would work well together.
Paul Heyman recently re-aligned with Brock Lesnar before he betrayed The Beast Incarnate at WWE Royal Rumble. Now, once again, he serves as the Special Counsel to The Tribal Chief.
