The plan right now is for Paul Heyman to return as a heel manager on SmackDown!, and not directly head into his role as head of the rogue ECW company.

While WWE is still heavily considering an ECW return, the current plans have Heyman returning as a manager, who will have a huge impact, rather than the commissioner of a new company right away.

If they do go the ECW route, he could technically steal some talent from RAW and SmackDown! during the course of his return. Again, that is still in the plans, but is not the immediate idea for his return. Heyman made his return as Lesnar's manager after WMX8 two years ago, and was responsible for getting Brock Lesnar so over. It should be interesting to see how this plays out.
