During Saturday night’s WrestleMania 41 (Night One) pay-per-view event, Paul Heyman shocked the world by betraying each CM Punk and Roman Reigns, siding with Seth Rollins and helping The Visionary emerge victorious within the Triple Threat fundamental event.
During an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” earlier today, Heyman stated that he didn’t betray Reigns and criticized Punk as a “shi*ty” best friend for his actions.
Heyman declared that his alliance with Seth Rollins began when he handed him a chair. He said,
“My savior didn’t resurrect himself on Easter Sunday. He couldn’t because he was put down on Saturday and there was no resurrection, benediction, or absolution within the lifetime of the Tribal Chief Roman Reigns. There couldn’t be. Let’s be clear about this, I didn’t betray Roman Reigns. Did I put my hands on Roman Reigns and shove him all the way down to the canvas in front of tens of millions of individuals? I didn’t touch Roman Reigns. What did I do? I got shoved to the canvas. I got emasculated in front of the WWE Universe by my Tribal Chief. I pleaded with him. My best friend did a favor. Saved Roman Reigns’ family. CM Punk, not much of a best friend, take a look at the position he put me in. What a compromising position CM Punk put me in against my very own Tribal Chief. What sort of best friend was CM Punk? A lousy best friend. A shi*ty best friend. I used to be loyal to CM Punk. I brought him back after Hell in a Cell. I gave him a highlight. I gave him a likelihood to redeem himself with Roman Reigns. He puts me on this unimaginable, emotional, compromising position that was an absolute no win. Not only was it a no win, it was a must lose with my Tribal Chief Roman Reigns. That’s my best friend?”
Heyman was asked whether he felt apprehensive and needed “more meat” to look at his back post-WrestleMania 41.
The WWE Hall of Famer replied, “Then so I shall buy groceries.”
