The July 21 episode of WWE RAW went down in Houston, Texas’ Toyota Center. This was a big night for the red brand, and we saw a lot of action.
Roman Reigns made his big return during last week’s WWE RAW. That being said, he was on hand this week to address Paul Heyman, his former Wise Man.
Paul Heyman, Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker made their way to the ring for the final segment of the show this week. They didn’t get very far before Roman Reigns came out to interrupt them. He received a massive OTC chant from the fans in Houston as well.
After saying that he didn’t want to be disrespectful or rude, fans booed Paul Heyman and sent “asshole” chants his direction. Fans didn’t let Paul Heyman speak, because of all the OTC chants and constant booing.
Paul Heyman explained that Seth Rollins is going to be out of action, and fans chanted “shut the f*ck up!” Heyman told Reigns that “we can fix this,” because there is a leadership vacuum without Rollins around. Then Heyman said that, deep in his heart, Roman knows that they are stronger together, and they will always be family. Heyman then said that he loves Reigns as his Tribal Chief before the OTC took the microphone.
Roman Reigns responded by saying that Paul Heyman isn’t a Wise Man anymore, he’s “just a dumbass.” Then Roman told Breakker to take it easy, before he warned that Heyman will someday dump him after taking all the credit. Reigns then said that Heyman had a part in making him a champion, but he didn’t help keep him as champion, it was the Usos, Solo Sikoa and Sami Zayn. In the end, Roman lost that title, even though it only took him four years to do so.
Roman Reigns said that Paul Heyman can’t re-create the Bloodline. Then he warned Bron Breakker to back up once again as fans barked at him. This is when Roman revealed what really bothers him is that Heyman used to be a friend and business partner, but Roman made him a part of the family only to have him throw it all away for CM Punk and then Seth Rollins.
Then Roman Reigns declared that he didn’t ruin the Bloodline, “this dumbass did,” as he referred to Paul Heyman. Bron Breakker took the microphone at that point and told Roman that “we don’t want you here anymore,” because “you’re old news.” Bron said that he knows Paul Heyman won’t stab him in the back, because he has value, but Roman is worthless. Breakker said he’s the future in WWE and he’s the man. At that point, Breakker told Roman to do what he does best, “turn around and leave.” Roman replied that he didn’t hear anything Bron just said, so he gave him his microphone before taking him out with a Superman Punch. Then Bronson took a shot before Breakker blindsided Roman Reigns. Then Jey Uso ran out for the save to help his cousin out.
RAW ended this week after Jey Uso helped Roman Reigns run off Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. This was quite a return for the OTC to the red brand, as Reigns still rules the red brand.
We will keep a close eye on Roman Reigns at this point. After all, he is back, and he has a lot of business to take care of.
