“Expect History” – Paul Heyman Comments on Brock Lesnar Coming for Roman Reigns on WWE SmackDown

WWE returns to Madison Square Garden this Friday for SmackDown in New York City. For WWE, Madison Square Garden is like a “home” because of all the legendary matches that took place there. We’ll witness the return of Brock Lesnar after he confronted Roman Reigns at SummerSlam.

WWE will host a “Super SmackDown” edition where the wrestlers from both brands will be inside MSG. Even John Cena is advertised to be there after his loss against the WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns.

WWE also advertised former Universal Champion Brock Lesnar for the event. However, this time Lesnar does not have Paul Heyman by his side. Instead, Heyman is with Lesnar’s longtime rival, Roman Reigns.

Paul Heyman thinks magic will unveil when Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns will meet in Madison Square Garden

Speaking with Sports Illustrated, Paul Heyman says history will be made when Brock Lesnar will return to regular television for the first time in 18 months.

“You can expect history to play out in front of your very eyes on SmackDown. It’s going to happen as Brock Lesnar returns to television for the first time in 18 months. He obviously wants to make an impact in doing so, and we’ll see whether that impact is at the expense of the ‘Tribal Chief,’ the most dominant champion in the history of WWE, Roman Reigns. That’s the history we’ll see play out on Friday.”

The two wrestlers have a complicated history together where Brock Lesnar has been victorious most of the time. Ironically, Paul Heyman was the advocate for ‘The Beast’ while Reigns was a babyface.

However, Heyman has a history of turning on his clients. Back at Survivor Series 2002, Paul Heyman turned on Brock Lesnar and aligned himself with The Big Show inside Madison Square Garden.
