Roman Reigns has made a rare admission about his career, calling the decision to bring Paul Heyman into The Bloodline his biggest mistake.
Speaking on WWE Countdown ahead of Survivor Series: WarGames, \"The Tribal Chief\" reflected on his turbulent relationship with his former \"Wise Man\" and delivered a surprisingly candid assessment of where things went wrong.
\"That\'s why for me, should have kept it simple. Should have kept it family only, bloodline only, people with the same blood coursing through the same veins. That was my biggest mistake. Bloodline only.\
The comments come after Heyman\'s betrayal at WrestleMania 41, where he aligned with Seth Rollins and The Vision faction against Reigns. The two had been aligned for four years prior to the split.
Paul Heyman\'s Super Power
Despite the acknowledgment of his error in judgment, Reigns offered a nuanced take on Heyman\'s motivations, suggesting his former advocate is simply doing what he\'s always done.
\"The old Wise Man, I think it\'s a beautiful mix of both. I think he\'s one of those guys where, yes, all his marbles are in one basket. So does he care about this industry? Of course.
This is where he\'s made his career, his life, his livelihood. His superpowers, he can identify who that future star could be. He\'s gonna ride him to the wheels fall off, and then find the next guy. So I think he\'s doing exactly what he\'s set out to do.\
The unusually vulnerable moment from Reigns signals a shift in his character heading into the WarGames match, where he\'ll team with CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, and The Usos against The Vision.
