Throughout his WWE career, Paul Heyman has never been associated with any female Superstars, but he has frequently spoken in support of wrestlers such as Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey while participating in media appearances for WWE.
Every sport aims to attract a female audience, and Heyman believes that aside from having Roman Reigns, the overall female roster is talented enough to attract female fans.
During a recent panel at Bloomberg’s Power Players: New York convention, Heyman explained how WWE can captivate the female audience.
The Wiseman said, “I let the product speak for itself. We have in WWE right now, what is the equivalent to when the Williams [Venus Williams and Serena Williams] sisters came onto the tennis court. We have the greatest female roster in the history of this industry and they’re not just there for sex and appeal. They are there because women in the WWE right now are the best. Ronda Rousey came to WWE to display her athletic skills. While doing it, she got a chance to also display her own persona as a character. When Ronda Rousey, who is to MMA what the Williams sisters were to tennis, comes to WWE to do that, it speaks volumes of what we’re doing. The women here are not only magnificant athletes, they have acting chops as well. You won’t find that anywhere else. You either find great actresses or great athletes. Here, you find the marriage of them both.”
Heyman has been absent from WWE television since The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, & Tonga Loa) took him out on the June 28th episode of SmackDown.
