Sports Illustrated recently caught up with Paul Heyman and, as you might expect, the subject of his newfound alliance with Universal Champion Roman Reigns quickly came up. The Big Dog turned heel when he aligned himself with Heyman, and for the prolific manager, it's a chance to reinvent himself in a storyline that makes sense given his history with Reigns.
"It’s an opportunity 33 years into my performing career to completely redefine, reimagine, and reinvent myself. I’m now the special counsel to the tribal chief, a role I’ve never played," he explained. "If you look at the backstory, it all makes sense. Since day one, I’ve pontificated the greatness of Roman Reigns."
"With all humility aside, this is the biggest move WWE could make with its talent at the moment," Heyman continued. "We have the tenured, still-young, just-hitting-his-prime WrestleMania main-eventer, the undisputed No. 1 star in WWE, and he’d been off for seven months. I have been with more WWE and universal champions than anyone. And now these two acts are together for the first time."
Heyman pointed out that Reigns is a headliner, and that automatically means anyone who works with him is now relevant. Heyman believes The Big Dog is the biggest Superstar of the past decade, but we can't help buy wonder how Brock Lesnar feels about all this.
Where do you guys see this storyline going?
