WWE Hall of Famer gives honest opinion on Paul Heyman betraying Roman Reigns and CM Punk at WrestleMania 41 (Exclusive)

Paul Heyman orchestrated the 'betrayal of the century' at WrestleMania 41. The Wiseman turned against both Roman Reigns and CM Punk to help Seth Rollins in the main event of The Show of Shows this past Saturday.

During a recent episode of The Wrestling Time Machine on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, host Mac Davis asked WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long if Paul Heyman's heel turn at WrestleMania surprised him.

"No, because that's what Paul Heyman does. He's a genius at that kind of stuff. Okay, so that didn't surprise me at all. Paul can sell you a water fountain, I'm telling you," Long said. [From 14:39 onwards]

Heyman had another trick up his sleeve this past Monday on RAW. The former Bloodline member came extremely close to getting taken out by Roman Reigns before Bron Breakker arrived to make the save. The former WWE Intercontinental Champion took out both Reigns and Punk with a spear to reveal himself as the newest member of the supposed 'Dangerous Alliance.'

Seth Rollins commented on his newfound alliance with The Wiseman after The Visionary bested Reigns and Punk in their nail-biting Triple-Threat WrestleMania 41 main event. Fans can check out his comment here.

Manik Aftab writes Exclusive articles for Sportskeeda Wrestling’s WWE division. A BA (Hons) in English Literature helped him improve his writing skills before starting his career as a pro wrestling writer.

Before joining Sportskeeda, Aftab worked for Ringside News and The Sportster, where his wrestling articles and feature pieces consistently ranked on the first page of Google SERPs.

He prioritizes accuracy, relevance, and ethics in his reporting by conducting thorough research, verifying sources, and adhering to professional journalistic standards.

While Aftab’s favorite wrestler in AEW is Hangman Adam Page, he doesn’t have a favorite in WWE yet. However, he considers Stone Cold Steve Austin to be the greatest professional wrestler of all time. His earliest memory of watching pro wrestling was when The Rock faced The New Age Outlaws in a handicap match, but it was the John Cena vs. Edge match from Unforgiven 2006 that got him hooked. If given the chance to manage a star from the Attitude Era, he would choose The British Bulldog, as he believes Davey Boy Smith was a terrific worker and could've benefitted from having a mouthpiece for his lack of mic skills.

When not watching pro wrestling, Aftab enjoys reading science fiction and watching anime.
