Plans for Ryback If He Fails as Paul Heyman’s Guy, Lesnar Turning Face?
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.
On 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.

Backstage News on Big E Langston – Bodyguard for Daniel Bryan?, More
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.
