5 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 5 we hope aren't: WWE's incredible long-term plan for Roman Reigns revealed, 2 RAW Superstars' careers in jeopardy?

#1. Hope is true: What WWE intends to establish with the Paul Heyman-Roman Reigns dynamic

A new alliance

Paul Heyman's alliance with Roman Reigns isn't just WWE's attempt at recreating Brock Lesnar. Their alliance means business, and WWE wants to establish that Paul Heyman works for Roman Reigns.

Rather than referring to himself as an advocate, WWE has made sure that Paul Heyman refers to himself as "Special Counsel to the Tribal Chief." Dave Meltzer explained on WOR what the difference between Paul Heyman's relationship with Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns is:

On the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer talked about the idea behind the pairing of Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman. As per the report, WWE wants it to be known that there is no friendship between Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman. Hence, we won't see Reigns smiling during Heyman's promos, unlike Brock Lesnar.

We hope this is true because it would get tiring quickly if Roman Reigns became a carbon copy of Brock Lesnar. It's good to add some intensity to their alliance on SmackDown.
