Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar share a history that the fans are well aware of. Heyman has been the ‘advocate’ to ‘The Beast Incarnate’. However, things changed when Lesnar’s WWE contract expired last year and Heyman aligned himself with Roman Reigns and completed The Tribal Chief’s heel turn. With Lesnar returning at SummerSlam this year, a turmoil has been created over Heyman and Universal Championship held by Roman Reigns.
Paul Heyman hints on future WrestleMania matches between Lesnar and Reigns
When speaking to Sportskeeda Wrestling, however, Paul Heyman said there was no bigger rival to Brock Lesnar than Roman Reigns. He also stated that though the heavyweights have collided in the past WrestleManias, they could certainly be locking horns in the future ones as well. The Rock Slides Into Top WWE Diva DM’s
Heyman said:
“We’ve done multiple WrestleMania main events between the two of them, and we’ll most likely do more,” Heyman noted. “This is a really interesting situation. You know, The Undertaker was very simple. History was made. Brock Lesnar conquered The Undertaker’s undefeated streak at WrestleMania. With John Cena, that was an intense rivalry between the poster boy for WWE and the most heavily hyped sports entertainer on the face of the planet, against a former NCAA Division-1 Heavyweight Champion, former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar. But with Roman Reigns, you have a completely different dynamic.”
When talking about the greatest rivals for Brock Lesnar, the list doesn’t stop at The Undertaker and John Cena. Hall of Famers and future Hall of Famers like Goldberg, Triple H, Kurt Angle, and The Big Show are also on the list.
In Paul Heyman’s opinion, none of them match up with ‘The Beast’ the way Roman Reigns does:
“You have someone that is also a Division-1 athlete and a champion. You have someone that could have gone into UFC and smashed everybody. You have someone that matches up against Brock Lesnar, and you have someone that is equally as credible as Brock Lesnar. And there’s not a lot of human beings… that can match up that way in terms of credibility with Brock Lesnar.” Heyman continued, “So I find the dynamic between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns to be the great rivalry, like the Lakers and the Celtics or the Yankees and the Red Sox.”
Lesnar and Reigns are set to battle for the WWE Universal title at Crown Jewel pay-per-view on Thursday, October 21.
