For several years, WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman served as an advisor for Roman Reigns, each on-screen and off. Following the events of WWE WrestleMania 41, nonetheless, Heyman transferred his services to The Vision, consisting of Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed. During a recent appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Reigns reflected on his time learning under Heyman, whom he famously known as the “Smart Man.”
“He taught me a lot,” Reigns said. “I sat under his learning tree. I caught shade for a very long time. So anything that he’s teaching all these other guys, and he’s long-winded, so he’ll carry on telling his stories. He’ll come back to them. I even have like a sponge absorbed a lot from the previous Smart Man that I feel he’s gone dumb now. I do not think he’s the identical guy. It’s turn into one in all those situations where I’ve turn into the master.”
While working together, Reigns intently listened to Heyman’s wealth of information, especially on long flights to numerous WWE events, equivalent to those in Saudi Arabia. “I’d sit there and I’d take counsel,” Reigns said. “I’d sit there and listen to his stories. And sometimes, yeah, he’d forget he told me a story and he’d tell me again, but I’d hearken to it again simply to see if the moral of the story was the identical or if there’s one other little piece of data. He’s a really clever soul.”
Identical to he did to Reigns earlier this 12 months, Heyman has now seemingly turned his back on Seth Rollins, with Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed standing tall alongside him as they recently attacked “The Visionary” on “WWE Raw.”
