Famed manager Paul Heyman shared video clips of today’s edition of WWE Talking Smack, where the advocate for Universal champion Roman Reigns sat down with new top contender, Kevin Owens.
Heyman would begin things by saying that he’s always respected Owens, and believed he would do great things even prior to his WWE days. He later adds that he knows how “twisted” Owens could be, something he may need to find again if he plans on standing across from the Tribal Chief.
HEYMAN: You could say, ‘I want that to be me. I want my reputation to live on for one-hundred years from now. I want to be a multi-time WrestleMania main eventer. I want to be a legend above all legends, an icon above all icons,” Heyman said to KO. “The way to do that — and this is where it’s interesting for me — is it’s at Roman Reigns’ expense. A champion is only as great as the challengers that he puts down. Nobody else around here may realize that you’re the number one contender, but I do. Because I know how twisted that brain is, and you’re looking at an opportunity here to get to Roman Reigns and solidify your legacy.
Owens would fire back promising Heyman that he will be the guy to dethrone Reigns and take the Universal title.
OWENS: You know what I am, Paul? I’m not a good guy, I’m not a bad guy, I’m the guy that’s going to beat Roman Reigns and take the Universal Championship from him.
