Seth Rollins, Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed have been wreaking havoc in WWE over the past few months. Although the group hasn't officially named itself yet, The Oracle referred to them as The Empire on RAW, seemingly confirming that they will go by that name.
Paul Heyman aligned with The Visionary at WrestleMania 41, where he betrayed both CM Punk and Roman Reigns. The duo soon added Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed to their faction and has been the most dominant group in WWE. They showcased their strength on RAW this week, where Breakker took out Sami Zayn while Reed also laid out Jey Uso. The group leader, Seth Rollins, also scored a victory over Penta.
The faction had already revealed their plans during the opening promo on RAW, where Paul Heyman addressed them as The Empire, referencing the Star Wars movie, The Empire Strikes Back. It seems that the villainous stable will go by that name, as Heyman dubbed them The Empire multiple times.
