Paul Heyman has managed several talents in WWE and other promotions in his career.

However, he has rarely associated himself with a female wrestler on screen. His only prominent instance of managing a female talent is that of Madusa in WCW in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Heyman came close to managing Becky Lynch last year when she was briefly aligned with her real-life husband, Seth Rollins, when he was the leader of The Vision.

Meanwhile, multiple women have been pitched to become the first “Paul Heyman girl,” including Charlotte Flair and Jade Cargill.

Elsewhere, another WWE superstar has thrown their name in the hat, who claimed that they have been pushing the idea backstage.

Heyman, meanwhile, was full of praise for the former TNA Knockouts World Champion, who he believes is “near flawless.”

The 60-year-old’s comments came during an interview with The Sportster, where he spoke about the WWE 2K26 game, where Grace is his champion of choice in the MyRISE section.

When he was asked about Jordynne Grace being his selection, Heyman said:

I had absolutely no objection because I am a huge fan of Jordynne Grace, not only of where she is right now, but of her trajectory being towards the top of the women’s division of WWE…So when 2K said to me, we’re suggesting Jordynne Grace, great. What a talent. What a box office attraction she’s going to be and already is. She’s perfect for this game because she is damn near flawless inside the ring.
