In August 2020, Paul Heyman was revealed as "The Wiseman" to ꦚRoman Reig𒐪ns, kicking off a partnership that has been at the forefront of WWE television ever since.
Roman spent 1,316 days at WWE U🔯niversal Champion with Heyman by his side. He brought in Jimmy Usౠo and Jey Uso into his Bloodline, welcome Sami Zayn as a Honorary Uce, and feuded with top talents like Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, Cody Rhodes, Brock Lesnar, and more.
For Heyman, the Bloodline saga is t🐓he greatest story of all time.
"Because of the longevity that the storyline has had, I would have to rank it number one," Heyman told when asked where he ranks the storyline all time. "The money-drawing years of the Horsemen weren't this long. The money-drawing years of the NWO weren't this long. The money-drawing years of (Steve) Austin vs. (Vince) McMahon weren't this long. (Hulk) Hogan vs. (Randy) Savage. Hogan vs. (Roddy) Piper, which put WrestleMania 1 on the map. Just in terms of overall storytelling and constant ebb and flow of affecting other people's environment and how they tell their stories, I would suggest it's the most significant, it's the biggest money drawing, it had the most longevity, has held the most interest, and overall has done so by being the most intriguing and compelling because at every turn, you see the characters, not just turn towards what the story calls for, but the long-term effects of the development and evolution of these characters is never lost on us. If something happens that changes Roman Reigns in 2022, we don't disavow knowledge of it in 2024. It plays into what's happening in 2024. Because of that, and because we keep it consistent, I would rank it number one. All false humility aside."
Heyman returned to WWE television last 𓃲Friday night o✱n WWE SmackDown, introducing CM Punk as the fifth man for team OG Bloodline at WWE Survivor Series.
