Prior to WWE SmackDown, Paul Heyman elaborated on three significant reasons behind his decision to accept his forthcoming Hall of Fame induction in Philadelphia.
Renowned as ‘The Wiseman’ within WWE circles, Paul Heyman has emerged as a pivotal figure since aligning with Roman Reigns.
Instrumental in the formation of The Bloodline on Friday Night SmackDown, Heyman’s influence has been palpable.
In a conversation with Bleacher Report’s Graham Matthews on WrestleRant, Heyman shed light on his rationale for embracing the upcoming induction in Philadelphia, despite initially rebuffing the idea under the previous administration:
“I accepted the award this year, Number one, because it’s in Philadelphia and it’s a unique opportunity that we’re a few blocks away from the corner of Swanson and Ritner, where the ECW arena’s at… Number two, my kids have been nagging me about it for years… and Number three, and perhaps this is the most profound reason, this is the first year that Triple H [Paul Levesque] has chosen the entire class of Hall of Fame, and one of my life’s great honors has been witnessing the work that Paul Levesque has done as the Chief Creative Officer in WWE.”
Heyman effusively praised Triple H and his contributions to the company:
“The shoes the he has to fill, the accomplishments that he has to live up to, and the disruption of the entire industry that he has to follow is a task that no man or woman would ever look at with a reasonable perspective. He has not only lived up to it, but we are in the midst of the hottest run in the history, not just in the WWE but in all of sports entertainment. We’re smashing records every quarter, every year, and now every night.”
Heyman also disclosed how The Bloodline has identified Solo Sikoa as the next Tribal Chief once Roman Reigns relinquishes the mantle.
With WrestleMania in Philadelphia looming, the prospect of Reigns potentially losing the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship to Cody Rhodes adds intrigue to The Bloodline’s narrative.
As the saga unfolds, all eyes will be on the role that The Tribal Heir, Solo Sikoa, will assume in Philadelphia.
