Paul Heyman, the advisor to Roman Reigns, recently took to social media to highlight the dedication of “The Tribal Chief.”
During the latest episode of Monday Night RAW, Heyman engaged in a confrontation with Cody Rhodes, proposing a challenge for both Reigns and Rhodes to appear alone on the upcoming SmackDown episode.
Rhodes accepted, setting the stage for a face-off with the WWE Universal Champion.
In anticipation of the show, Heyman shared an Instagram Story featuring Reigns apparently working on a video while aboard an airplane. The caption read: “Always working, even at 40,000 feet!!”
Meanwhile, Heyman’s impending induction into the Hall of Fame Class of 2024 sparked reactions from former WWE Superstars, including Ryback.
Ryback, who worked with Heyman in the past, offered congratulations but also criticized Heyman’s character, calling him names and accusing him of dishonesty and manipulation.
He also questioned Heyman’s microphone skills, implying they might not be as impressive as believed.

Heyman and Ryback collaborated in 2013, although their partnership didn’t yield significant success, leading to their eventual separation.
Since then, Ryback has been vocal in his criticisms of Heyman, often airing his grievances publicly.
As Heyman’s Hall of Fame induction approaches, it reignites past controversies and spurs discussion among wrestling fans about his contributions to the industry and his relationships with former associates.
