Prior to the Raw after Mania, Paul Heyman appeared on the Pat McAfee Show to talk about his actions on Saturday night. Heyman held firm that he didn’t betray anyone. CM Punk was not being a good friend to him, putting him in the position to have to go against his tribal chief. And Roman Reigns, he emasculated Heyman on screen, which is not something Heyman could forgive. So the Wiseman went star hunting for a new client, one who he is confident he can return to the top of the business much like he did for Reigns.
But it would appear that Heyman wasn’t going to just settle for one client this time around. He was asked on McAfee’s show if he thought having Rollins in his corner would be enough to protect him from Punk and Reigns to which Heyman replied if it wasn’t he’d just have to go shopping.
Paul Heyman and His Stable of Former Champs
On the Raw after Mania, Heyman and Rollins made their entrance as the crowd let both men know how they felt about them. Rollins received some cheers, mostly as the crowd sang him to the ring, but when he got there, the cheers turned into boos for both him and Heyman, who received the worst of it. The fans chanted for Punk and Reigns as Rollins made his own introduction noting how he was the visionary who took away Reigns’ wiseman and Punk’s best friend. Before he could finish however, Cult of Personality hit. Rollins made quick work of Punk thanks to distraction from Heyman but as he was taking out one enemy, he braced for another as Reigns made his way down the ramp. Reigns got the better of Rollins at first and even landed a Superman Punch on Heyman. But as he readied for the spear, he was intercepted by a hooded figure, who quickly revealed himself to be none other than Bron Breakker.
Breakker speared Reigns and then Punk before Rollins put his arm around the former champ, solidifying their new, shocking alliance. Rollins sent Breakker after Reigns on the outside. Reigns fought back at first but he was no match for Breakker’s super spear as he charged around the ringside area to send Reigns through the barricade with massive force. Breakker dragged Reigns back in the ring on Rollins’ orders. Rollins hit a stomp to Punk and then turned to Reigns telling his former brother that the future now runs through him. Rollins finished Reigns off with a stomp as the camera panned in on a grinning Heyman. Rollins raised both Heyman and Breakker’s arms as Raw went off the air.
Seems there are two new Paul Heyman guys now as the locker room was officially put on notice. Heyman is a master manipulator and with Breakker, it seems he’s found his next Brock Lesnar, his next big thing. With Rollins, he’s found his new Reigns. The wiseman only worahips at one alter now and its that of the Monday Night Messiah.
