WWE personality hypes Paul Heyman as he introduces NFL's "next big thing"
WWE SmackDown commentator Pat McAfee boosted Paul Heyman as he introduced NFL's Brock Purdy as the next big thing, in much the same way that he advertised Brock Lesnar two decades ago in the Stamford-based promotion.
Brock Purdy is a quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League and has not missed a beat in his first playoff game.
The rookie quarterback is still performing well and has just scored his first playoff touchdown with a simple throw to Christian McCaffrey, putting the San Francisco 49ers ahead.
WWE veteran Paul Heyman recently cut a promo for the NFL, cheered Brock Purdy, and leveled him up with The Beast Brock Lesnar.
"San Franciso has their own Brock. Started the year not as the backup but as the backup's backup. It turns out the seventh-round draft pick is the NFL's next big thing. That's not a prediction; that's a spoiler. I am talking about the undefeated starting quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, BROCK PURDY!" Paul Heyman said. [0:19 - 0:51]

Pat McAfee was high on the heel when The Wiseman cut a promo for the NFL and wished he would jump ship more often from WWE to the National Football League.
"Helllll yeah @HeymanHustle. Need you in the NFL world more," McAfee retweeted.

Bully Ray expressed his opinion on how Paul Heyman is extremely valuable for The Bloodline
Paul Heyman ran Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) from 1993 to 2001 before joining WWE. He was the brains behind the ECW brand, which dominated the hardcore wrestling scene in the 1990s.
The Wiseman later managed a record six wrestlers for the WWE Championship from 2002 to the present, including current champion Roman Reigns.
On the Busted Open podcast, Bully Ray discussed how he witnessed firsthand the way Paul Heyman planned future storylines based on crowd reactions.
"Paul was a master at listening to what works and also what doesn't work. Paul, when he was running ECW, was out there listening, watching the crowd, watching the body language of the crowd during a match or a promo, listening to the crowd, seeing what they were sinking their teeth into, and seeing what they were turning their back to," Ray shared.

Over the next few weeks, The Bloodline will host two major title matches. On this week's RAW, The Judgment Day became the number one contender for The Usos' RAW Tag Team Championship.
Meanwhile, on January 28, Roman Reigns will defend his WWE Universal Championship against Kevin Owens at the Royal Rumble.
