Paul Heyman addresses The Rock.
During WWE SmackDown New Year's Revolution, Roman Reigns was not in a speaking mood, but Paul Heyman was asked about The Rock's return to WWE and his reference to Roman Reigns.
Heyman said Rock name dropped Roman because he wants to sit at the head of the table, but the only way to sit at the head of the table is to be invited to a dinner of relevancy. Heyman said The Rock has not been invited and will not be invited, and that Rock was only looking to get in the headlines.
Heyman stated the only way to go viral is to date Taylor Swift or call out Roman Reigns. Heyman mentioned John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Cody Rhodes, and CM Punk as men looking for relevancy through Roman Reigns. Heyman welcomed back Punk, but noted that he upgraded his status from best friend to advocate and from advocate to wise man.
He said that no matter who wins between LA Knight, AJ Styles, and Randy Orton, that Reigns is going to smash them at WWE Royal Rumble.
