Paul Heyman Explains the “Plea” in Roman Reigns’ Iconic Catchphrase That Actually “Puts the Power” Into It

Gracefully powerful is an adjective that might be close to perfect to describe Roman Reigns‘s classic motto. When someone mentions Roman Reigns, fans unknowingly remember the words, ‘Acknowledge Me’. Because it has been synonymous with the Tribal Chief, adding to his magnetic aura since last year.

While in the ring Paul Heyman hands the mic to the Head Of The Table to flaunt his supremacy through these two influencing words, with a hyped-up crowd cheering for him despite his status as a heel. Now, the Wise Man of the Bloodline has come up with the real meaning behind the standout line that defines the undefeated Universal champion’s arrival to some extent.

Paul Heyman reflects on what ‘Acknowledge Me’ actually means

Reigns’ special counsel barely misses giving even any tiny detailed insight regarding the Tribal Chief and his faction. This time, he provided us with a unique angle regarding the meaning behind the catchphrase ‘Acknowledge Me’.

Heyman believes the line Acknowledge Me has a contradictory tone. To be specific, it includes plea and power at the same time. Roman asks to acknowledge him without specifying the nature of that acknowledgment. It might be love or hatred. So there is a subtle respect he pays to his fans by offering them the leeway in the cover of a seemingly influential quote.

During the podcast episode of Tetragrammaton with Rick Rubin, Heyman explained the classy thinking of Reigns. The 57-year-old noted, ”Roman’s catchphrase… it’s needy. He needs you to acknowledge him. I’m not here for your love. I’m not here for your affirmation. I’m not here for you to cheer my name. I just need you to acknowledge me. It’s unbelievable. It puts the power in the audience to react any way they want,”

”There’s no command. It’s a plea from a man who doesn’t beg. From a man who rules. From a man who commands the Island of Relevancy.” Heyman continued.

However, speaking of the recent scenario inside the Bloodline, it can see another major turn anytime soon.

What is the current dynamic of the Bloodline?

Last week on the June 2nd edition of WWE, SmackDown Roman Reigns continued having issues with The Usos. The event saw Jimmy costing Jey the United States title against Austin Theory by delivering an accidental super kick to him. Reigns wanted to push it toward a clash between the two brothers by pumping Jey up for a counterattack.

However, Jey Uso denied and kept the doubt intact regarding his true loyalties.

Now we need to see what will be the next big twist in the iconic family saga once Jey clears his stance.
