Some recent stuff from the dirsheets:

WWE putting Ryback with Paul Heyman is seen as “feast or famine” and “one last chance” for Ryback to make it as a top star.

There has been speculation that Paul Heyman aligning with Ryback will lead to a Ryback vs. Brock Lesnar match but word is that this is more of an end game for WWE. If things don’t go as planned and Ryback fails in the new role with Heyman, it will be easy for WWE to write him off for the time being and have Lesnar destroy him. One problem with this is that it could draw a major babyface reaction for Ryback, possibly something bigger than anything he has experienced so far. There are plans for a Lesnar babyface turn but not until after WrestleMania XXX so if they would do the Lesnar vs. Ryback match before then, it could be with Ryback as the babyface and Lesnar to be heel.

WWE officials recently discussed two potential roles for Big E Langston, which is part of the reason why he hasn’t been featured on TV as much lately. The roles were Paul Heyman’s latest acquisition or a bodyguard for Daniel Bryan. The feeling is that the alliance with Bryan most likely will not happen and the new “Paul Heyman Guy” role went to Ryback at Night of Champions.

Speaking of Vince, he’s high up on The Wyatt Family and their promo videos, especially the mic work of Bray Wyatt. At the same time, there’s a feeling that there needs to be some kind of advancement with the group. The challenge is finding a “happy medium” with the way The Shield was pushed from day one.

As noted before, The Shield vs. Cody Rhodes, Goldust and Dusty Rhodes is being discussed for WWE’s Battleground pay-per-view. There’s a feeling that Dusty may not be used in the match because of his age but it’s said that if Vince McMahon gets his way, Dusty will be in the match. Some feel that Dolph Ziggler should team with Cody and Goldust.
