Roman Reigns' legendary run kicked off soon after joining forces with Paul Heyman
Two years ago, Reigns made his big return to WWE TV at SummerSlam 2020. He attacked The Fiend and Braun Strowman and established himself as a bad guy.
Soon after, it was revealed that Reigns had formed an alliance with Paul Heyman. The Tribal Chief went on to win the Universal Championship at Payback 2020 and has now completed 700 days as champion.
Last year, Heyman opened up on his relationship with Reigns and had the following to say:
“For me to pursue, in front of the camera, life after Brock Lesnar, the only lure that could seduce me to even attempting such an impossible goal was to do it with someone that would live their life in the pursuit of achieving that impossibility, and that’s Roman Reigns. And that’s why someone, that’s why anyone and that’s why everyone should watch Roman Reigns," said Heyman.
He further elaborated on his equation with The Tribal Chief:
"Every micromoment he’s in the frame, you are witnessing the pursuit of the all-time greatest career in the annals of sport, in the annals of entertainment and in the annals of sports entertainment,” added Heyman. [H/T Sports Illustrated]
Reigns, Heyman, and The Usos have been unstoppable for a long time now. After what happened at SummerSlam, fans wonder if there's anyone on the WWE roster at the moment who can dethrone The Head of the Table.
