As seen in the main event of WrestleMania 41 – Night 1, Paul Heyman turned heel on both Roman Reigns and CM Punk, and joined forces with Seth Rollins.
Rollins pinned Reigns to win the match and left with Heyman.
Heyman appeared on The Pat McAfee Show at WWE World today and explained his actions. Here’s what the WWE Hall of Famer said:
“My savior did not resurrect himself on Easter Sunday. He couldn’t because he was put down on Saturday and there was no resurrection, benediction, or absolution in the life of ‘The Tribal Chief’ Roman Reigns. There couldn’t be.
Let’s be clear about this: I didn’t betray Roman Reigns. Did I put my hands on Roman Reigns and shove him down to the canvas in front of millions of people? I didn’t touch Roman Reigns. What did I do? I got shoved to the canvas. I got emasculated in front of the WWE Universe by my Tribal Chief. I pleaded with him.
My best friend did a favor. Saved Roman Reigns’ family. CM Punk, not much of a best friend, look at the position he put me in. What a compromising position CM Punk put me in against my own Tribal Chief. What kind of best friend was CM Punk? A lousy best friend. A sh*tty best friend.
I was loyal to CM Punk. I brought him back after Hell in a Cell. I gave him a spotlight. I gave him a chance to redeem himself with Roman Reigns. He puts me in this impossible, emotional, compromising position that was an absolute no win.
Not only was it a no win, it was a must lose with my Tribal Chief Roman Reigns. That’s my best friend?”
Heyman said he will reveal more about his decision to join forces with Rollins on tonight’s highly anticipated RAW after WrestleMania 41 episode.
