Paul Heyman, the trusted advisor and manager of Roman Reigns, firmly believes that Reigns’ current run at the top is the greatest in the history of professional wrestling.
Heyman has been an integral part of Reigns’ journey as a member of The Bloodline for nearly three years. Throughout this time, Reigns has established himself as the “Tribal Chief” and has been widely regarded as one of the greatest world champions in pro wrestling.
During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Heyman was asked if Reigns’ current reign could be considered the best run of all time. Heyman responded emphatically, declaring it to be “undisputed.” He highlighted that legendary figures like Steve Austin, John Cena, and The Rock did not hold the title for as long as Reigns has.
Heyman went on to emphasize the incredible pressure, level of competition, and the formidable opponents Reigns has faced during his reign. He specifically mentioned Reigns’ numerous title defenses against Brock Lesnar, his victories over John Cena and in the main event of WrestleMania against Edge and Daniel Bryan. Heyman also humorously acknowledged Reigns’ victory over Cody Rhodes.
The esteemed manager further emphasized the remarkable list of competitors that Reigns has defeated throughout his reign, describing it as an “all-time great, legendary roster.”
“Undisputed. Steve Austin didn’t hold the title for 1,000 days. John Cena didn’t hold the title for 1,000 days. The Rock didn’t hold the title for 1,000 days. Come on. In this era, with this much pressure, with this level of competition, with a murderers’ row of heavyweights that have come after him? How many title defenses against Brock Lesnar? Defeating John Cena, stacking Edge and Daniel Bryan on top of each other in the main event of WrestleMania, admittedly just getting by Cody Rhodes? Come on. Look at the roster that has been defeated by Roman Reigns. It’s an all-time great, legendary roster.”
Heyman’s confidence in Reigns’ current run underscores the impact and dominance that Reigns has displayed during this phase of his career. With a string of high-profile victories and a compelling storyline, Reigns has undoubtedly solidified his place as one of the most formidable champions in professional wrestling history.
