Roman Reigns said that Paul Heyman was very open to working with him and was ready to work with only him and nobody else. Roman claimed that if Paul hadn’t been working with him, he would have remained active and continued to provide general guidance.

“Brock [Lesnar] was in-between contracts, so Paul was kinda wide open and it just fit, you know, he had that opening creatively. He was still just working behind the scenes from a creative standpoint and then once it opened up […] And I think I was really the only one that he wanted to work with, otherwise he would just stay kind of plugged in and be helping from overall directive standpoint.”
