Roman Reigns had been working alongside Paul Heyman since he became the Tribal Chief in 2020 but for the first time ever, Heyman will not be by Reigns’ side as he will be in CM Punk’s corner at WrestleMania 41 and now Reigns has revealed his true feelings about Heyman’s actions.
While speaking on The Pat McAfee Show, Roman Reigns was asked about his true feelins regarding Heyman aligning himself with CM Punk because of Punk’s favor. He said that this situation feels familiar, like it’s happened too many times before. He questioned why he keeps trusting people and giving them chances, only to be let down.
Reigns explained that what some people see as a helping hand can actually come back to hurt you. It’s not always a good thing, and people don’t always realize the struggles that come with it.
Reigns said that everyone turned their backs on him and left him to stand alone. As for Paul Heyman, he’s not losing sleep over it. Heyman made his decision, and Reigns has already moved on. His focus is on going to WrestleMania and taking out anyone who steps in his way. And if Heyman decides to step into the ring, he’ll get taken out too.
“Yeah, that’s not my style. It’s almost like déjà vu, man, and I feel like this has happened countless times. It’s one of those days where I’m like, why do I keep trusting people and giving them a chance? That’s what they think a helping hand is—sometimes it’s gonna smack the s*** out of you, sometimes it’s not nice. People don’t understand how that helping hand is going to come and what it’s going to go through.
So for them all to be the way they were and betray me, and leave me where I stand… You want me to boo-hoo about the Wiseman? He made his choice. You understand me? It doesn’t matter to me. I’m going to WrestleMania and whooping everyone’s ass. And if the Wiseman wants to get into the ring, he can get it too!”
Paul Heyman also made it clear he is loyal to Roman Reigns despite being in CM Punk’s corner at WrestleMania 41. Regardless, we’ll have to see who will come out on top in the highly anticipated Triple Threat match between Reigns, Punk and Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 41 as anyone could pick up the win.
