You can listen to the interview in full below, and the following are some highlights:

-On Sting entering the WWE Hall of Fame, Heyman says Sting doesn’t have much of a legacy in WWE, but it’s a smart move on WWE’s part to acknowledge the contributions that WCW made to pro wrestling.

-On Bray Wyatt standing tall over Brock Lesnar on Raw this week, Heyman said come Sunday night Lesnar will be ready for whoever might try to jump him, and even if it’s all 29 other superstars in the Rumble match they will be dealt with.

-On Roman Reigns in the Royal Rumble, Heyman predicted Reigns would dominate the match if Lesnar wasn’t in it. Heyman praised Reigns as legit, and says he is as tough as they come.
