• Paul Heyman Teases Retirement On Tonight’s SmackDown
Tonight’s SmackDown kicked off with a sit-down interview between Kayla Braxton and Paul Heyman.
Heyman said he told the truth to Universal Champion Roman Reigns and it was the truth that he didn’t want to hear.
He talked about how he got publicly humiliated, but that’s his job – tell Roman the hard truth.
Heyman said:
“Roman Reigns is the greatest Universal Champion of all time, but he needs to be protected from Brock Lesnar.”
Kayla asked what’s next for him. Heyman questioned if he will go to NXT to cherry pick a top talent? Not at this stage.
Heyman ended the interview by saying:
“Maybe it’s time for me to acknowledge that my career is most likely over.”
