Paul Heyman On Working With Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar Walking Out, More

Paul Heyman recently made an appearance on Out of Character with Ryan Satin. In this appearance, Heyman discussed his time working with Roman Reigns during the Reigns vs. Lesnar build to WrestleMania 31. Amidst this discussion, Heyman talked about Lesnar walking out of the WWE at the time over reported contract negotiations. You can read Heyman’s comments on working with Reigns here below.

On working with Reigns in his first WrestleMania main event: “For all that you see of the swagger and the confidence, and the ego and the self-esteem, and the self-assuredness of Roman Reigns? I was there for his first WrestleMania main event, because it was against Brock Lesnar. I was there for the first promo he had to do about his first WrestleMania main event, because it was the night after the blizzard. And Brock and I came, and I opened it up by shaking his hand and telling him that ‘I’ve known your family longer than you’ve known your own family.’ And then when we finally brought it out into the ring, Brock had walked out of WWE five weeks before WrestleMania, and we were tasked with Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman in the ring talking about Roman Reigns’ first WrestleMania main event, just the two of us.”

On the parallel with Cody Rhodes for this year: “These parallels between these two men that carry their family legacies, both from the past and into the future — Cody Rhodes’ first promo with somebody about his first WrestleMania main event was with me. The parallels, the symmetry in that is very noticeable to us. And it’s the truth.”
