How Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns came together as a ‘strong force’ in WWE?
Roman Reigns is facing one of the most challenging phase of his reign as the chief of The Bloodline. Embroiled in a conflict against The Usos who are his friends-turned-foes, Reigns will defend his Undisputed WWE Universal Champion title against Jey Uso at 2023 WWE SummerSlam on Saturday night.
During Reigns’ journey to the top and while he remains there, Paul Heyman has been one strong force by his side. Fans are often intrigued about how the two came together, with Heyman as Reigns’ manager.
Earlier, Heyman was the manger of The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar. But later, he joined forces with Reigns.
