Massive star says he "never thought" WWE would let him work with Roman Reigns
A top WWE name has revealed that he never thought he would be allowed to work with Roman Reigns. The name in question is The Wiseman to Reigns, Paul Heyman.
On the SmackDown after SummerSlam 2020, Reigns aligned with Paul Heyman in one of the most important moments in the history of WWE. Four years later, Heyman embraced a defeated Reigns on the entrance ramp at WrestleMania XL, mere minutes after he lost the Undisputed WWE title.
That was the last time fans saw Reigns and Paul Heyman on WWE TV together. The duo recently made an appearance on Bloomberg Live. During the final moments of the interview, the Hall of Famer stated that he never thought WWE would ever let him work with Roman Reigns.
Check out his full comment below:
"I have the easiest job in the world. I get to hype someone. I actually believe in it, they never hand me a script. I don't need a script. For 20 years, I worked with a gentleman named Brock Lesnar. He's the only person in the world that's ever held the UFC, the NCAA, and the WWE Heavyweight Championships for 20 years. I hyped up Brock Lesnar, never needed help in doing it. When Brock's run was done, there was only one person I was ever willing to work with. I never thought they'd let us work together. It was Roman Reigns because I believe in him. I believe he's the best athlete in WWE." [21:29-22:00]
