Paul Heyman Embraces WWE Villainy With Wild Deportation Jab on Live Show

Paul Heyman, the undisputed master of WWE trash talk, just couldn’t help himself on "The Pat McAfee Show" this Monday. Living up to his heel reputation, Heyman delivered a sharp-tongued jab at a member of the crowd, telling a heckler, "You? The one that’s gonna get deported." Subtlety was clearly left backstage.

Appearing on ESPN’s show, Heyman didn’t just stop at the immigration zinger. He was in rare form—tossing out barbs about Shannon Sharpe’s lawsuit and poking fun at Michael Cole for being a WWE lifer. You’d think by now everyone would know not to sit in the front row when Heyman’s got a mic in hand—unless, of course, you enjoy being publicly roasted.

Heyman’s WrestleMania 41 antics were also a hot topic. In a moment that stunned fans, he delivered a low blow to both CM Punk and Roman Reigns, opening the door for Seth Rollins to take full advantage. Rollins wasted no time, using a chair on Reigns and landing the pin. If there’s ever a moment to define chaos in wrestling, this one’s got to be up there.

Reflecting on the high drama, Heyman admitted he’s "proud" of Seth Rollins for not getting lost in the shuffle. "It became, as the internet would joke, as if Roman Reigns and CM Punk are fighting over Paul Heyman who has become the baddie in this situation – I’m the hot girl," Heyman quipped. Gotta love a villain with self-awareness.

Heyman went on to praise Rollins’ performance, suggesting he’s "eclipsed us all" with his in-ring skills this year. Even The Rock labeled Rollins the "MVP of WrestleMania weekend"—a compliment Heyman admitted stung a bit, right up until he saw Rollins in action from across the ring.

Heyman also gave a rare nod to CM Punk, who finally got his dream WrestleMania main event, while Roman Reigns continues his story as the "Tribal Chief". In classic Paul Heyman fashion, he managed to put over his rivals while still keeping the spotlight firmly on himself. Only in WWE can you be the villain, the mastermind, and the "hot girl" all at once.
