So today we’ll be taking a look at the latest with Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns, Paige’s
reaction to the speculation about her return, WWE and AEW’s possible collaboration, and
much more
Let’s start things off with Paul Heyman’s situation with Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar
Despite the fact that Paul Heyman is technically standing besides Brock Lesnar now, it’s
still kind of hard to read Paul Heyman and really have a solid feeling on where his loyalty
stands
His promo on Raw after Day 1 was the vintage Paul Heyman that we always saw when he was
with Brock Lesnar, but fast forward a few days after that and we saw a much different
Paul Heyman when he was in the presence of Roman Reigns
Heyman talked about how Roman was all he had in his life while Brock was gone, how he worshipped
the ground he walked on, how he loved him, yet he still got assaulted by Roman
Brock interrupts Heyman and tells him to shut up and the crowd cheers
Roman tells the crowd not to cheer that and tells Brock Lesnar not to talk to Paul Heyman
that way
And when Brock Lesnar gets in Roman’s face about it, Paul Heyman tells Brock not to talk
to Roman in that way
Then right when Brock and Heyman start to argue, Roman punches Brock Lesnar out thanks
to that distraction
So it was a nice telling moment there that obviously, despite how things ended in their
partnership, Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman both still share feelings for one another
Roman doesn’t wanna see Brock verbally abuse Paul Heyman and Heyman doesn’t wanna see
that either for Roman
So just a very little interesting small detail that was added to the segment
Of course it has fans a little suspicious and wondering if Roman and Heyman could be
in on it together to mess with Brock Lesnar and form a much bigger gameplan together
As crazy and bizarre as it sounds, was this all part of a big plan between Roman Reigns
and Paul Heyman?
Fake the breakup, send Heyman back to Brock Lesnar to gather information and to set everything
in place?
hypothetically speaking, if Roman and Heyman were in on a big plan together, what could
their big endgame be?
How about capturing both world titles?
What if Roman wanted Brock Lesnar to win the WWE title, get comfortable with Heyman, have
the title versus title match at Wrestlemania, and Heyman finishes the big scheme there by
screwing Brock Lesnar over during the main event of Wrestlemania and helping Roman secure
both world titles
If Roman and Heyman actually have that big entire scheme going to capture both world
titles, you gotta give them credit because that would be a huge twist and quite the elaborate
plan
So that’s just an idea, but the way Heyman and Roman both told Brock Lesnar not to talk
to the other like that was a bit weird and makes you wonder what was that all about
And before that even happened, you did have Brock Lesnar officially challenging Roman
Reigns to a title versus title match
Roman turns the idea down because it wasn’t his idea and that Smackdown was his show
So even though Roman initially turned it down there, expect the match to still take place
in some fashion
Knowing WWE, there’s a reason why they had Brock Lesnar make that challenge official
so early on and that’s because it’s actually happening down the line
Now before we can get to that title versus title match, both Roman and Brock would have
to survive their respective opponents at Royal Rumble
Brock Lesnar has to get through Bobby Lashley and Roman Reigns has to deal with Seth Rollins
If both men walk out as champion after Royal Rumble, we should get more and more teasers
for that title versus title match
So Roman versus Brock for both titles will most likely be the main event of Wrestlemania,
but remember that you also have the Royal Rumble winner who technically earns the right
for a world title match at Wrestlemania
So if Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns already have plans for the main event of Wrestlemania,
that means that the Royal Rumble winner would have to be thrown into that match somehow
and possibly make it a triple threat
So no matter what they decide to do and the fact that they’re already teasing the match,
it looks like we will have a duel WWE world champion come Wrestlemania
———————————
So like we were discussing after Smackdown, WWE fans started speculating on how WWE must
have some big Royal Rumble surprises up their sleeves considering the way they gave up those
other 7 surprise entrants for the Royal Rumble match
One of those big actual surprises fans were discussing was paige, who was trending throughout
the entire weekend due to how much fans were speculating about her return, how’s she
been in the gym lately, and all that talk
The conversation eventually made it back to Paige herself who addressed the fan speculation
on twitter and had throw to say, quote:
“Wait, I was trending again?
I mean it is January.
I tell ya what though, it does feel awesome to see so many people even after 4 years,
miss me wrestling.”
End quote
Paige received 20 thousand likes on that tweet and WWE superstars like Alexa Bliss could
even be found in the comments of the tweet talking about how much she missed Paige
Everyone knows how serious Paige’s injury was during that dreadful night at the live
event a few years ago
Her doctor even said multiple times that its still a miracle that she could even walk because
she could’ve been paralyzed in the ring that night
So thinking back to that fact and talking about a return for Paige could be scary, but
we’ve seen miracle returns of Bryan Danielson, Edge, and now Nikki Bella, who’s the latest
addition to the list of miracle returns
Nikki hasn’t wrestled at all in over 3 years after she was dealing with a career ending
neck injury herself and now she’s cleared to compete
So of course everyone’s body and injury is different, but seeing all these wrestlers
coming back from career ending neck injuries is what fueling all the hype and conversation
for Paige’s return
So all we can do is wait and see if Paige can ever make a safe return to the ring
—————
As fans have labeled it, WWE has officially opened to forbidden door with at least Impact
Wrestling
Impact Wrestling has been a long time rival organization for WWE dating back to the early
2000s and WWE never acknowledged their existence at all
That all ended this week when they announced that Impact Knockout champion Mickie James
would be competing at the Royal Rumble
WWE’s statement and tweet clearly addressed Mickie James as the “Impact Wrestling Knockout
Champion”, acknowledging their existence and acknowledging one of their world titles,
so quite the big deal there
This entire situation is of course opening the conversation about WWE possibly working
with other wrestling organizations as well
One new reports even claims that there’s currently talks between WWE and AEW to collaborate
on some content for wrestlers that have left WWE and are currently signed to AEW
a WWE and AEW collaboration of any sorts would be really great to see, but what fans really
wanna see is a full-blown crossover collaboration
Sort of like what AEW and Impact Wrestling did for a while where impact stars were showing
up on AEW, and AEW stars were showing up at Impact
Imagine how insane it would be to see the AEW world champion on WWE television and see
a WWE world champion on Dynamite
There’s something that can really spark some fan interest and freshen things up
So who knows what the future holds, but hopefully these conversations keep going well so we
can eventually see a massive crossover like that
