Paul Heyman recently spoke with Eat Sleep Podcast Repeat and during it he noted that he thinks Big E. should stop being associated with Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods as part of The New Day.
He pointed out how Roman Reigns did this with The Shield.
“I was very complimentary towards Big E, and I still am. Big E needs to break away from The New Day, the same way Roman Reigns broke away from The Shield,” Heyman claimed. “Roman Reigns became such a megastar that The Shield could not contain Roman Reigns’ stardom any further and Big E needs to take that same approach regarding King Woods, and Kofi Kingston, and The New Day.”
Heyman also discussed his alliance with Reigns:
“I think we were always destined to be paired together,” Heyman admitted. “I have known Roman Reigns since he was in diapers, when his father, Sika of the Wild Samoans, brought him to an event in Panama City, Florida as part of the Continental Wrestling Federation in 1988. A lot of people may remember that The Shield, of which Roman Reigns was the dominant member, debuted in WWE at Survivor Series, 2012. Brought in by Paul Heyman to protect the WWE Title reign of the, then champion, CM Punk. CM Punk was associated with Paul Heyman at the time in the middle of a 434-day reign as WWE Champion.
“So, since Roman Reigns’ debut on the main roster, this has been in the works,” Heyman claimed. “There were multiple times that we crossed paths along the way, leading to the historical grouping of us together and eventually along with his cousins, The Usos.”
