Ronda Rousey: “So much of what is working in WWE is due to Paul Heyman”

While speaking to Bert Kreischer, former WWE star Ronda Rousey praised Paul Heyman while talking about the development of Roman Reigns’ character over the years…

“Roman Reigns—they tried so hard to get him over for so long, and there were ‘f*ck Roman’ chants. No one wanted him because he had so many of those advantages, you know? He was young, good-looking, talented, came from a famous family—and no one identified with that.

It wasn’t until Paul Heyman came in and found a way to repackage everything as the ‘Head of the Table’ and all of that—that is Paul Heyman’s genius—that got him over. So much of what is working in that company is due to Paul Heyman or his guidance. He’s like the guy behind the scenes who’s everyone’s mentor, and a lot of the best ideas originated from him. My graphic novel originated from him. Yeah. I mean, Paul Heyman deserves a f*cking shrine in my mind.”
