Top SmackDown Rumors: Major Superstar to use 'backstage pull' to leave? 5-time World Champion responsible for Alex Bliss' poor booking; Details on Heyman/Reigns' true equation (19th Septemeber)

#2 Booking plans for SmackDown's Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman

Roman Reigns is now associated with Paul Heyman on SmackDown. Dave Meltzer of WON explained how Paul Heyman's relationship with Roman Reigns is different to that with Brock Lesnar.

He stated that in story Paul Heyman is the one indebted to Roman Reigns for bringing him back. He also stated that we shouldn't expect Reigns and Heyman to have a 'buddy' relationship like the one between Heyman and Lesnar.

''The idea is that everyone knew that while Lesnar was a mercenary, he was also friends with Heyman. He smiled at his promos, laughed at his jokes, and long-time fans knew the relationship dated back to Lesnar’s start on the main roster in 2002. With Reigns it is the opposite. There is no friendship. The idea is that with Reigns, he is completely in charge of the relationship and that, at least in idea, Heyman was done in wrestling with Lesnar gone and had nothing left. ''

The duo has been working great on SmackDown and the storyline has added layers to Reigns' character.
