Paul Heyman: Roman Reigns Understands Brock Lesnar's Imposing Stature

Paul Heyman has yet to acclimate himself to the awe-inspiring presence exuded by the indomitable Brock Lesnar. Their enduring partnership, forged upon the arrival of "The Next Big Thing" in WWE, has witnessed intermittent separations followed by fortuitous reunions. Beyond the realm of scripted entertainment, their bond extends deep into the realms of genuine camaraderie. However, the seasoned impresario recently found himself astounded by the overwhelming physicality possessed by the former world champion.

During a candid conversation on Tetragrammaton with the venerable Rick Rubin, Heyman recounted his experience inside the squared circle alongside Roman Reigns on the momentous April 3 episode of WWE Raw. Yet, it was when Lesnar made his consequential entrance that Heyman's senses were assailed by the sheer magnitude of "The Beast." This unfamiliar perspective left him momentarily staggered, as he had customarily been an observer of others grappling with such profound astonishment.



“I was standing in the ring this past Monday. We are taping this on the Wednesday after WrestleMania. I’m standing in the ring with Roman Reigns, who’s an impressive individual. Let’s just state that for the record. I mean, this is not a slouch standing there. This is someone that looks like a man because he is one. I’m standing in the ring, and Brock Lesnar’s music hits, and Brock walks out in his fight gear. I looked at Roman, and I went, ‘Holy fuck, look at that!’ After all these years, I’m still not used to being out there watching him come at us.

I’m used to being on the other side of that. I’m used to walking out with him, looking at the faces of people going, ‘Holy fuck, look at that!’ Roman looks at me and he says, ‘Yeah, now you know what we all saw.’ I just said, ‘Man, he is freaking huge. Holy shit! What the fuck?’ When I said that, I realized the camera is picking us up, and I did say, ‘My Tribal Chief.’ He just looks at me, and he says, ‘Man, it just never ceases to amaze me. Standing here, watching him, and when he circles you like a shark, you realize I’m in for a physical evening," Heyman said.
