Paul Heyman welcomes anyone to step up to Roman Reigns, because “The Tribal Chief” needs sacrifices on the Island of Relevancy.
During an interview with Rick Ucchino of Sportskeeda, when asked who he wants to see challenge Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship, Heyman named a few options, though the end result would be the same regardless — “The Head of the Table” standing tall.
“All of them,” said Heyman. “Any of them and of them. They’re all welcome to get smashed by Roman Reigns. Drew McIntyre, Humberto Carrillo, Angel Garza, Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston, former World Heavyweight Champion. Any of these people want to step up to ‘The Tribal Chief’, we need sacrifices on the Island of Relevancy. We are welcome to give them their moment of fame in being smashed by Roman Reigns.”
While Reigns’ next “sacrifice” hasn’t been determined yet, his next challenger might be his toughest one yet. At WWE Crown Jewel, Reigns will defend the gold against Heyman’s former client, Brock Lesnar. During the interview, Heyman playfully refused to deliver one of his spoilers about the bout, but he promised that it’ll be worthwhile.
“Don’t you think they should tune into Crown Jewel to find out?” said Heyman. “I mean, it’s like saying the Yankees and the Red Sox are playing, guess who’s gonna win? Why guess? I wanna watch it, I wanna see it happen. But I know who’s gonna win because as I told you, baseball’s predetermined. So why would you want to know? Why wouldn’t you want to see it play out?
“Spoilers are the worst thing imaginable, except when I deliver them. The spoiler that I can tell you about [SmackDown] is the same spoiler I can tell you about Crown Jewel: it will be worth the investment of your time to watch.”
