Roman Reigns wasn't pleased with Michael Cole's question on The Pat McAfee Show during WrestleMania 41 weekend. The veteran commentator asked the OTC about his current status with Paul Heyman.

Heyman will corner CM Punk at WrestleMania 41 instead of accompanying Reigns. The former WWE Champion cashed in his favor after previously helping Reigns and The OG Bloodline win their WarGames Match against the new Bloodline.

Speaking on The Pat McAfee Show, Reigns boldly stated that he was confident heading into his Triple Threat Match on Night 1 of WrestleMania 41. He added that even Heyman could get his 'a** whooped' if he decided to step into the ring.

"Who is telling this guy to ask the questions here? What do you want me to get emotional? What do you want me to cry? Is that what you want? You want me to come up here and get boohoo about The Wiseman? The Wiseman made his choice. You understand me? These people can make their choice. It doesn't matter to me. I'm going to WrestleMania Night 1 on Saturday, I'm whooping everybody's a** and if The Wiseman wants to get in the ring, he can get it too. So keep touching on emotional stuff, keep pulling these emotional triggers and they gonna chant for other reasons," said Reigns. [from live show]
