Paul Heyman's Bold Claim: Roman Reigns Has Redefined The Industry
Paul Heyman has showered praise upon Roman Reigns for his great accomplishments since his return to WWE at SummerSlam 2020. Reigns has embarked on a worth-remembring streak, becoming the longest-reigning Universal Champion in history and one of the longest-reigning WWE World Champions overall. Notably, he secured the WWE Title at WrestleMania and has remained undefeated in singles competition since December 2019. Such a great reign has prompted WWE to introduce a new World Heavyweight Championship in an effort to restore balance.
Assisting Reigns in his dominance is his loyal ally, Paul Heyman, who boasts a notable career working with figures in the wrestling industry since the 1980s.
During an appearance on ESPN's First Take, Heyman and Reigns discussed their journey and upcoming match at SummerSlam. Heyman, true to his characteristic style, effusively praised Reigns, asserting that he has revolutionized the wrestling industry. According to Heyman, Reigns stands in a league of his own, distinct from any other competitor. He acknowledges the rich history of the WWE Championship, featuring legendary names like Bruno Sammartino, Superstar Billy Graham, Bob Backlund, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, John Cena, and Brock Lesnar.
However, Heyman highlights that the Universal Heavyweight Championship, being a newly created title, lacked the same lineage and prestige. Though held for 500 days by Brock Lesnar, it did not attain the status of the WWE Championship. But Reigns, upon becoming the Universal Heavyweight Champion, transformed the perception of the title. Heyman compares it to a Super Bowl ring, akin to what Tom Brady seeks in football. Reigns, as The Tribal Chief, desired both the history of the WWE Title and the future of the Universal Title. Consequently, he merged the two championships, further firming his reign and making the Universal Championship the premier attraction in WWE.
“Roman Reigns? He’s completely redefined the industry. He’s in a different genre than anybody else is. By the way, we do acknowledge the past. Shall I do it for you, sir? See this photo right here? Bruno Sammartino, Superstar Billy Graham, Bob Backlund, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, John Cena, Brock Lesnar. Go down the list, Roman Reigns.
See this one right here? Universal Heavyweight Championship, it was the created championship, did not have the lineage of Sammartino, Morales, Superstar Billy Graham, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, John Cena, Brock Lesnar, names go down the list.
A created championship, 500 days held by Brock Lesnar, started to get a little prestige, never in the class of the WWE Championship. Roman Reigns becomes the Universal Heavyweight Champion, and everybody forgets about the WWE Title. And this becomes the title and WWE. This becomes the premier attraction. This becomes the Super Bowl ring. This becomes what Tom Brady is after. This is what the title becomes in WWE." Transcription Via itrwrestling
