The 60-year-old recently showed up on ESPN's First Take to advertise the upcoming premium live event. The veteran was asked how this year's WarGames would be different from all the past editions.

In response, Paul Heyman noted that the lineup for the Men's WarGames match was "the greatest assembly of talent on either side." He then broke character to praise his rivals, calling Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Cody Rhodes three of the biggest stars in the company, and referring to The Usos as the greatest tag team of all time.

"Well, I mean, first of all, the cast that's in this WarGames is just—this is the greatest assembly of talent on either side. I mean, just the three people that you saw inside the ring at the top of the segment, Roman Reigns, the Tribal Chief. There's CM Punk, the World Champion. There's Cody Rhodes, the Undisputed Champion. These are three of the biggest stars in WWE, plus the greatest tag team of all time, admittedly, The Usos," Heyman said.

Paul Heyman further gave a brief about his WarGames team. He added that the onus would be on them to deliver "the greatest WarGames of all time."

"Then on our side you have my guy, Brock Lesnar; you have Bron Breakker; you have Drew McIntyre; you have Bronson Reed; you have Logan Paul; and you have Paul Heyman out there as well. Plus, this is not only something where we understand the tradition of WarGames, and we have to deliver the greatest WarGames of all time, and we're very cognizant of that fact, we have to top all the previous WarGames," Heyman added.

Speaking further during the conversation on ESPN's First Take, Paul Heyman noted that the upcoming premium live event would serve as an infomercial for WrestleMania 42.

The Vision member pointed out that the tickets for The Showcase of the Immortals will go on sale this Friday, and WWE Survivor Series: WarGames will be their audition for those who want to travel to Las Vegas for WrestleMania next year.

"This is really an infomercial for WrestleMania, because, as you must know by now, there is such a huge publicity push out there that the individual tickets for WrestleMania Saturday, WrestleMania Sunday go on sale on Black Friday, on this Friday. So we are out there just showing the world, 'Hey, check out this spectacle. Check out what WWE is about and our biggest show of the year, WrestleMania, individual tickets going on sale.' This is our audition for the world to come to Vegas for WrestleMania at the same time, giving the most bang for the buck and the greatest WarGames of all time," Heyman said.
