#5 Mr. Kennedy

One of the most favorite guys of Paul Heyman back in time when he was managing OVW was Mr. Kennedy. Heyman saw Kennedy as the future of WWE though it truly never happened.

At that point in time, Heyman told Kennedy once that "he's closely observing him for a long time now and he's a fan of him. He went on to say that he's going to give him more screentime here in OVW that he will have so many things to do. And WWE will eventually call him up on the main roster".

This indeed happened as Mr. Kenndy was promoted to SmackDown brand just after his six-month stay with OVW. But the things weren't too fortunate for him as he was later released by WWE due to a botched move (back body drop) he made on Randy Orton in a multi-man tag match on an episode of RAW (2009).

After his stint with WWE, he was signed by TNA but his relationship with Heyman was never broken. He used to take some help from Heyman over the phone to make his promos better in TNA. And Paul didn't hesitate for a second in doing so which shows what Mr. Kennedy was meant for him.

#4 Natalya

atalya became a friend to Paul Heyman when he returned in 2012 to manage Brock Lesnar. Since then the relation between the two superstars was built up. Also, Natalya appeared in WWE's Paul Heyman DVD where she talked about how's Heyman behind the scene.

Natalya did receive some great pieces of advice from Heyman during that time due to which she now saw as a top star in the company. Natalya sees him as her uncle and clearly thinks that he has the most creative mind in this business.

Over the due courses of year, Natalya has established herself as the best in-ring performer ever seen in the Hart Dynasty and probably will go on to do the same. It's quite intriguing how Heyman manages new talents due to which their career rises in a way that it never did before.

#3 Renee Young

Enough talking about Paul Heyman "Guys", let's talk about this Paul Heyman "Girl".

Renee Young signed to WWE the very same year Paul Heyman returned-2012. Since then she is performing as an interviewer and a commentator on both Raw and SD Live brand respectively. Renee had a dream to become a comedic actress but she was always stuck not getting lead role auditions due to which she transitioned to her current role.

A special thing about Renee is that she has learned a lot from Paul Heyman's interviews due to which her skills as an interviewer have approved. Also, when Heyman is attendance backstage in WWE, he and Renee shares some valuable time talking about how can she improve her skills on-screen.

Also, this past month when WWE announced, Renee Young will be a guest commentator on RAW Heyman praised her saying that she's worthy for this extraordinary opportunity.

I applaud @WWE for the decision to have @ReneeYoungWWE sit in this coming Monday as a guest commentator on #RAW. The entire program has just been handed an instant upgrade. Bravo! A most worthy recipient of this extraordinary opportunity! https://t.co/ct3xOXt6IO

#2 Edge

The R-Rated superstar-Edge was struggling in mid-card in the year 2002. Fortunately, the same year Paul Heyman was working in WWE as a creative writer for the SmackDown brand.

During that year Heyman was busy in building new-upcoming talents and Edge was one of 'em. He was on Heyman's favorite superstar list. Heyman pushed him as a top star when other writers weren't looking up to him as main-star.

Due to this, Edge got the first break of his career after which he won the first ever MITB contract and moved on to cashing it successfully. Edge probably would have thanked Heyman for his big push and establishing him as true main-eventer.

#1 Beth Phoenix

here he met Beth Phoenix alongside CM Punk, Beth Phoenix and Mr. Kennedy. In OVW he shaped the career of these superstars but most importantly of Beth. During that time, then called as "Divas" were unable to make their way to the main roster. Seeing that Heyman came to aid of his fellow standout female superstar Beth Phoenix.

Just because of Heyman she was able to make her move to the main roster and became one of the two women to main event Raw for the first time alongside Trish Stratus. Because of Paul Heyman, we got to witness these amazing superstars. One wonders where these superstars would have ended if Paul Heyman hasn't blessed on them?
