The jaw-dropping announcement of Paul Heyman’s Hall of Fame induction this year has been one of the massive watershed moments of the current WWE affairs. The Mad Scientist is finally going to reap the harvest of his exceptional work through the decades, after all. While the hype about the landmark moment of the veteran’s career and life has been unbridled, it also raises some obvious curiosities. It seems fans can’t wait to know who will induct the high-profile wrestling personality into the prestigious Hall of Fame Class of 2024. While they are yet to get their doubt answered, they came to know that Roman Reigns won’t pull this off.

Roman Reigns mentioned one’ must have’ quality of Paul Heyman’s potential HOF inductor

The one that should be most elated hearing this news could never be anyone else other than Heyman’s worthiest client, Roman Reigns. The Bloodline chief seems never tired of putting Heyman on a pedestal. Of course, he had his reasons. Heyman saw the big potential in The Tribal Chief when he struggled to get his footing in the business following some strenuous health hazards. Eventually, The Wise Man’s hunch proved right and Reigns came off as one of the most successful men alive in the lore under his wise assistance. That said, Reigns isn’t going to induct Heyman into the greatest honor WWE. Then who is? When Reigns was asked that question by Pat McAfee, he didn’t mention any specific name but hoped it would be someone as authentic as his friend.

”Whoever does it, they need to be authentic. They need to tell their story of Paul. There is going to be a lot of facts and history you can lay down with the ‘Wise Man,’ all the way from the beginnings with the giant phone to being the advocate to being my special counsel. Whoever does it just needs to be themselves and tell the truth. Paul is an incredible man, an unbelievable man,” he crisply noted, leaving ample space for further speculation.

Can this authentic man be Brock Lesnar, the other original Paul Heyman guy? We never know. However, WWE veteran Bully Ray might be happy to know that Roman Reigns isn’t the one to induct Heyman into the Hall.

WWE veteran isn’t a fan of the idea of Roman Reigns inducting his special counsel into the Hall of Fame

Roman Reigns alongside Paul Heyman is a different breed altogether, and any seasoned WWE fan knows it the best. But despite the spellbound chemistry, Bully Ray thinks Reigns isn’t the ideal one to be assigned for the job. To be more specific, Ray didn’t demean the bond that the Bloodline duo shared, rather, he deems the timing wrong. As the Hall of Fame ceremony will overlap with WrestleMania Night, the former WWE member believes it won’t be wise to tip Reigns into such a positive, emotional moment ahead of his massive main event fight the next day. The amount of positive responses he will get might get in the way of his extreme heel side that’s supposed to be demonstrated in the ring.
