Roman Reigns is currently the most prominent superstar in WWE. Reigns has held the Universal Title Championship for the longest time now. The Tribal Chief is the main attraction of the product now. But this was not always the case. The Big Dog had a hard time staying in the spotlight while being a heel in The Shield.
But when others were considering Reigns as just another superstar, Paul Heyman had a lot of faith in The Big Dog. Heyman, who is better known for his mic skills, predicted Reigns’ bright future a long time ago. Even before he started managing The Tribal Chief.

In a video posted on Busted Open Radio, Paul Heyman can be seen praising Roman Reigns before WrestleMania 34. At that time, Reigns had a main event match with Brock Lesnar. The Special Counsel managed the Beast Incarnate at that time.
Heyman even claimed that Reigns would be going down as the Hall of Famer in the future. According to Heyman, at that time Reigns had achieved a record that even Brock Lesnar couldn’t get his hands on. Maybe that’s the reason Heyman turned against Brock Lesnar and joined The Tribal Chief.
Record of Roman Reigns that even Brock Lesnar doesn’t have
Paul Heyman shared his thoughts. He said, “Roman Reigns is in his fourth consecutive WrestleMania main event.[…] Who can make the claim that like what Reigns can claim that they’ve been in four consecutive WrestleMania main events. Brock Lesnar can’t even claim that. Roman Reigns is at the top of the food chain around here.”
