Paul Heyman on why Roman Reigns is “unlike anyone else” he worked with

For the past 30 years, Paul Heyman has managed names like Rick Rude, Steve Austin, “Mean” Mark Callous [The Undertaker], The Midnight Express, Brock Lesnar, CM Punk, Cesaro, Ryback and Curtis Axel.

In a recent interview with BT Sport, Heyman explained why WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns is “unlike anyone else” he has worked with.

Heyman felt that when the global pandemic hit last year, he and Reigns had the opportunity to legitimately step away from the wrestling business, since they had already established careers in the Hall of Fame. However, they decided to return due to their insatiable appetite for success.

“Because I think we were both very satisfied with our work and we could have left,” said Heyman. “And we both could have said, ‘Okay, we made a lot of money, we caused a lot of commotion, we have been at the top for many years.’ What a job, careers in the Hall of Fame, for both of us. But none of us were satisfied. “

Heyman continued: “None of us … our appetites were unfulfilled. As 2020 became a seismic shift across the Universe, not just across the WWE Universe, there was an opportunity to create a new narrative. A new trajectory. A new level of grandeur that has never been achieved. And we both wanted to try. “

According to Heyman, he and Reigns were committed to opening a path that no one “had the courage to open before” through their on-screen alliance.

“And we both wanted to see how much we could transform this industry, set the trend and open a path that no one had the courage to take before. And we were on the same page, ”emphasized Heyman.

“That’s why this is different from anyone else I’ve worked with. Our reputation is cemented, our careers in the Hall of Fame are in the books. And yet, we are probably doing … I know that Roman Reigns is doing the best job of his entire career and is just getting started. “

Reigns will defend his Universal Championship against Kevin Owens in a Last Man Standing Match during next Sunday’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view event.
