Paul might be the greatest actor in sports entertainment.
I couldn't tell if he was acting or not. He transitioned that so smooth into the promo. But in the video below it shows him looking distraught. If he was acting (and I think he was) that's amazing.
New Jack said that Paul went to court, lied, and cried real tears to keep Jack out of jail. They laughed about how Paul had the entire courtroom fooled. That dude can act!
Paul E is a method actor, too.
When Roman Reigns kicked him out of The Bloodline last year, Paul E stopped dying & cutting his hair, he didn't get makeup before going on camera, and he didn't wear his nice suits. Jreh dove deep into his role.
Some movie exec needs to bring back the gangster movie genre just so Paul Heyman can play a sleazy mafia lawyer.
