WWE Daily News Round-Up (August 12th, 2018)

#4 Roman Reigns does not want to work with Paul Heyman

WWE's worst-kept secret is that Brock Lesnar will most likely fight his last WWE match at next's week SummerSlam PPV, against Roman Reigns.

With Lesnar leaving, there has been speculation that Paul Heyman may represent some other WWE Superstar, with the rumours even suggesting that Reigns could be that Superstar.

But Reigns has categorically said that he is not interested in working with Heyman or anyone else.

The Big Dog said the following in an interview with Newsweek, “Nah I like talking for myself. That’s one thing I want too, just a little longer promos you know what I mean? Just me and the mic that would be nice. Do a lot of interactive promos in the ring and stuff like that. That’s how you grow and it’ll be cool to get those long, solo promos.

"Working with Paul, there’s nothing wrong with just sitting there like a boss and let your attorney do the talking. Let him talk the logistics, and I’m sure Paul won’t have a problem reading off my resume, it’ll take a while but he’s pretty good with stuff like that. But I would still want to talk for myself, 100 percent.” (H/T NoDQ for the transcription)
