The Bloodline storyline has been the biggest story in the WWE for well over three years now and shows no signs of stopping. Paul Heyman is a major part of the storyline and he has now revealed the extent of his creative influence in the angle.
While speaking to The New York Post, Paul Heyman provided insight into his creative input in Reigns’ storyline, which currently involves dual tracks with Cody Rhodes and The Rock. Heyman noted that he has significant creative influence in the storyline.
“I carry a significant voice in how we are portrayed and presented — that includes everything from camera angles to music to storylines.”
Paul Heyman highlighted the acknowledgment from Roman Reigns as the Wiseman, signifying both Tribal Chief to Special Counsel and a historical reference to legendary managers.
“It’s why Roman Reigns bestowed upon me the blessing name of the Wiseman, which is both acknowledgment from the Tribal Chief to his Special Counsel, and also a historical reference to the Grand Wizard, Freddie Blassie and Captain Lou Albano, who are the only managers during the Vincent James McMahon (father of Vince McMahon) era.“I don’t know if I could only be a performer. I wouldn’t be satisfied. I wouldn’t be happy with just going out there and doing our shtick. I have to have a voice. I have to have some level of input, and so far, as luck would have it, that input has been not only welcomed but encouraged and very well received.”
The Rock’s inclusion in The Bloodline storyline has breathed new life into the angle. We will have to wait and see how WWE will continue to book The Bloodline in the coming weeks.
