Roman Reigns to team up with Paul Heyman's 'bitter rival' after being betrayed by The Wiseman?
Roman Reigns is now without a manager as Paul Heyman, his Wiseman, has aligned with Seth Rollins. Under these circumstances ¡®The OTC¡¯ may bring back Eric Bischoff, the former brain behind WCW, to be his new ally.
Roman Reigns, one of the WWE¡¯s biggest stars, is now officially without a manager. Paul Heyman, his trusted Wiseman, betrayed him ahead of WrestleMania 41 when he chose to be in CM Punk¡¯s corner at the event. The former ECW boss then appeared to side with him again during the main event of ¡®Night 1¡¯ but eventually sided with Seth Rollins. Given these shocking developments, Reigns may now decide to bring back one of Heyman¡¯s biggest rivals to teach him a lesson.
Roman Reigns to align with Eric Bischoff?
Eric Bischoff is one of the most popular names in professional wrestling. He revolutionsed the industry with WCW, a promotion that once gave the WWE a run for its money in the 90s. Bischoff later joined the Stamford-based promotion as the GM of Raw. During this time, he had a reel feud with Heyman who served as his opposite number on SmackDown.
The two previously were also perceived to be rivals as Heyman¡¯s ECW was usually at loggerheads with WCW. Heyman also blamed Bischoff for ECW¡¯s downfall. Given the past between the two, HHH¨C who heads WWE¡¯s creative team¨C could bring back Eric Bischoff as Reigns¡¯ new Wiseman. The past kayfabe tensions between the two veteran managers could result in some compelling moments. Moreover, this will also allow Reigns and CM Punk (if they form an alliance) to play some vicious mind games with Heyman.
That said, this is pure speculation at this point but it can¡¯t be ruled out as we have already seen a couple of surprise returns( namely Sami Zayn and Rusev) in the post-WrestleMania season.
How did Roman Reigns fare at WrestleMania 41?
CM Punk took on Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins in a ¡®triple threat match¡¯ at WrestleMania 41. In the dying moments of the contest, Heyman low-blowed CM Punk and appeared to align with ¡®The OTC¡¯. However, he betrayed him too and helped Rollins get the win. The very next night, on Raw, Bron Breakker joined them. This added to Punk and Reigns¡¯ worries.
