Well, it turns out popular NBA analyst Stephen A. Smith has something to say about that. Smith recently appeared on Logan Paul’s IMPAULSIVE podcast. The Maverick is one of the stars in The Vision, currently managed by Heyman.

During the discussion, Smith was asked whether he would be interested in a WWE run. While he has made it clear in the past he won’t be stepping into the ring, Smith did have a target in mind. He said if he ever joins the sports entertainment giant, Heyman better watch out.

“Well, you know what? I think that Paul Heyman needs some competition. Paul Heyman is that dude. Now, he was on my show today, and he conceded; he confessed that his status at number one would be in jeopardy if I arrived on the scene. And I think he’s right. I’m not saying I would get him, but I would come for him,” he said.

Smith was also recently involved in banter with WWE superstar Danhausen after he cursed the analyst. Danhausen took to X to taunt him after the New York Knicks suffered a string of losses in the ongoing series against the Atlanta Hawks.

Danhausen demanded that Smith apologize, and maybe he will think about lifting the curse he imposed. However, the popular analyst said he won’t be doing any such thing.

Paul Heyman praised celebrity for his involvement in WWE

Ahead of WrestleMania 42, WWE faced a lot of backlash from fans over its excessive use of celebrities on its shows.

Fans heavily criticized the presence of Pat McAfee, Jelly Roll, and others on weekly programming. Rapper Lil Yachty was also aligned with Trick Williams during his feud with Sami Zayn on SmackDown.

While Paul Heyman is considered an old-school wrestling promoter, he took to X to praise Lil Yachty. He wrote that at a time when celebrity involvement in WWE has become controversial, the rapper is a credit to the concept of crossover culture due to his respect for the wrestling business, its culture, and history.
