Paul Heyman reacts to Stephen A. Smith teasing replacing him as Roman Reigns' manager in WWE

Paul Heyman took to his X/Twitter account to respond to a clip of the interaction between Roman Reigns and Stephen A. Smith on ESPN's First Take, as the two teased the TV personality as a replacement for The Wiseman.

The Oracle noted that the term "manager" was outdated, and if someone wished to compete with him, they must be an advocate, a Wiseman, or an Oracle. Heyman added that many people wanted to have their best shot at replicating him.

"I have always appreciated the kind words bestowed upon me by @StephenASmith on @ESPN's @FirstTake. The term "manager" is outdated and antiquated. If someone wishes to compete with me, they need to be an #Advocate, a #Wiseman or an #Oracle. It is invigorating to know how many people still want to take their best shot at replicating the #GOAT 🐐 of @WWE and all of sports, entertainment and sports-entertainment," he wrote.

It will be interesting to see if Stephen A. Smith ever makes an appearance on WWE programming.
