The alliance between Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman is no more.
During Friday night’s episode of WWE SmackDown, Roman Reigns fired his now-former right hand man. In the main event segment, the Bloodline came out to the ring and Reigns questioned Heyman’s loyalty after he saw what Heyman said on last week’s show. Reigns noted that Heyman’s actions felt “shady.”
Heyman would counter Reigns, saying that he wasn’t protecting Lesnar from Reigns; he was protecting Reigns from Lesnar. Reigns wound up accepting Heyman’s explanation and the two men hugged it out. But in the end, Reigns thanked Heyman for his 40 years of service to his family and then fired him. Reigns would go on to hit him with a Superman Punch.
Reigns then demanded that the Usos get him two chairs. As he was about to hit Heyman with a Con-Chair-To, Brock Lesnar came out to the ring and took out the Usos and then hit Reigns with an F5.
