5 recent news and rumors about Roman Reigns: The Tribal Chief hints at leaving WWE, canceled plans for The Rock

#2 Paul Heyman reveals that Roman Reigns wants to be the greatest of all-time

During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Paul Heyman stated that Roman Reigns was motivated to consistently exceed expectations and become the greatest professional wrestler of all time.

"Survivor Series was a demonstrative, declarative statement by Roman Reigns. He is on a level that no one else in sports, entertainment, or sports entertainment can achieve today. Roman Reigns returned after a hiatus [in 2020] to be not only the best today, but the greatest of all-time. That is the motivating factor behind every single moment when he is in front of the public," said Heyman.

This might come as a surprise but Reigns will not go down as the greatest of all time or even come close. He might be the best wrestler in the world today, but he has stiff competition in CM Punk and Bryan Danielson.

#1 Canceled plans for The Rock revealed

According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, fans in attendance at Survivor Series were unhappy when The Rock didn't confront Roman Reigns after the Universal Champion's win against Big E.

''Fans live were upset because they worked themselves into believing he would confront Reigns after Reigns won, and then the show ended,'' said Meltzer.

The People's Champion was initially penciled in to appear at Survivor Series, but those plans fell through as he was involved in the filming of "Young Rock" Season Two.
