• Roman Reigns Fires Paul Heyman & Attacks Him On SmackDown
The New Day defeated SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos in a non-title match on tonight’s SmackDown.
Universal Champion Roman Reigns them came out and told the Chicago crowd to acknowledge him, and they do it and chant ‘Tribal Chief’. Reigns said he doesn’t like it when his cousins lose, but they’re family and they can get through anything. Reigns then said Paul Heyman isn’t his family by blood though, and asked if he can trust him.
Roman asked Heyman once again if he knew about Brock Lesnar’s SummerSlam return and other Brock news. He then asked Heyman why he’s protecting Brock from him, and if he’s his Counsel or Brock’s Advocate.
Heyman then said the following:
“I’m not protecting Brock Lesnar from you, I’m protecting you from Brock Lesnar.”
Roman hugged Heyman and thanked him for serving his family for 40 years and then fired him. Reigns then laid out Heyman with a Superman Punch!
