1) The Plans For Roman Reigns & Paul Heyman
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer provided some news about WWE’s plans for Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman. Meltzer says that WWE is planning to make the pairing as different as possible from Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman.
It will be made clear that Roman and Paul are (strictly) business associates and not friends. This is unlike Brock and Paul, who usually joke around with one another. Here is what Meltzer wrote:
The plans are to make the Reigns/Heyman dynamic as different as possible from Lesnar/Heyman. The idea is that everyone knew that while Lesnar was a mercenary, he was also friends with Heyman. He smiled at his promos, laughed at his jokes, and long-time fans knew the relationship dated back to Lesnar’s start on the main roster in 2002. With Reigns it is the opposite. There is no friendship.
The idea is that with Reigns, he is completely in charge of the relationship and that, at least in idea, Heyman was done in wrestling with Lesnar gone and had nothing left. Reigns made the call to bring him back so he’s indebted to Reigns for saving his career.
My Take:
- This is the right thing to do. We don’t need fans constantly comparing Reigns and Heyman to Lesnar and Heyman. They are both their own things that are different from one another. I love the pairing so far and I am excited to see more.
