Braun Strowman recently took offense with Paul Heyman for incorrectly claiming that Roman Reigns had never exited a WWE arena on a stretcher or in an ambulance before encountering Seth RollinsVision faction. However, it had already happened many years ago when Strowman was feuding with Reigns in 2017. ‘The Monster Among Men’ posted some pictures of the segment where he brutalized ‘The OTC’ .

Strowman even mocked Heyman by comparing him to Oswald Cobblepot, aka the Penguin. ‘The Wiseman’ has finally broken silence on the matter. Paul Heyman wrote on his socials that Strowman’s post was brought to his attention, and he doesn’t have anything negative to say about him.

In fact, the ‘Oracle’ affirmed that he’s quite relieved and celebratory to learn that ‘The Monster’ is still alive, quipped Heyman, and added that it’s something that most of them didn’t realize and even fewer cared about. That was some response from the WWE Hall of Famer, who’s been brazenly dismissive of the former Universal Champion in the past.

A few months ago, ‘The Mad Genius’ revealed on Pat McAfee‘s Show that he told Strowman to his face the reason behind him not making it to the WrestleMania 41 card was because he wasn’t good enough. The former Wyatt Family member was released by WWE in May.

It was believed that the company let him go due to his injury-prone nature. Media reports claimed that Strowman’s salary was also a cause of concern for WWE, as they thought he was being overpaid.

Roman Reigns says Paul Heyman has gone dumb since betraying him

Just days before taking on Bronson Reed in an Australian Street Fight at Crown Jewel, Roman Reigns joined Pat McAfee’s show to reveal his well-being and how he’s going to approach the challenges ahead. One of the men he talked about at length was his estranged ‘Wise Man’, Paul Heyman. The latter betrayed ‘The Tribal Chief’ at WrestleMania 41 by revealing his new allegiance to Seth Rollins.

‘The OTC’ has disclosed if he’s concerned about Heyman inevitably plotting against him until Reigns isn’t done troubling The Vision. At first, Reigns dismissed any sort of physical threats from Heyman, calling him an old man. But as far as the mind games are concerned, that’s an area where ‘The Head of the Table’ wouldn’t want to get complacent. Reigns knows he’d need to be mentally ready for anything.

Reminiscing about his long-term partnership with the 60-year-old, the former Shield member noted that he’s taken so much from Heyman by sitting under his learning tree for years. So whatever Heyman is teaching his new disciples right now is the same wisdom he passed on to Reigns a long time ago.

He taught me so much. I sat under his learning tree. I caught shade for a long time. So anything that he’s teaching all these other guys, he’s already told me……….So I, like a sponge, absorbed so much from the former Wise Man, that I think he’s gone dumb now. I’ve become the master.

‘The OTC’ referred to himself as the sponge because he has absorbed so much from his erstwhile ‘Wise Man’ to a degree where he feels Heyman has gone dumb, and Reigns is the master now. The former Bloodline boss last got his hands on ‘The Oracle’ at Clash in Paris. After Reigns beat Reed, the ‘Tribal Chief’ locked the WWE HOFer in a guillotine.

Heyman was kept from appearing on TV for a few weeks to sell the attack. It’d be interesting to see if he plays a factor in Reigns’ upcoming showdown with Reed this Saturday in Perth. ‘The OTC’ didn’t find it too hard putting ‘The Auszilla’ away when they collided in Paris. Could Reed stage a mammoth upset on his home turf? Time will tell.
