Paul Heyman mentioned Roman Reigns during the May 26 episode of Raw!
The May 26 episode of Monday Night Raw aired live from the Yeungling Center in Tampa, Florida. The show served as the fallout show from the May 24 edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event and also continued the build towards the Money in the Bank 2025.
The show featured two qualifying matches for the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match, where Penta and Seth Rollins emerged victorious to advance and join Solo Sikoa and LA Knight, who have already qualified for the ladder match.
The New Day (Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston) also retained their WWE World Tag Team titles in a triple-threat match against American Made and War Raiders.
Paul Heyman & company want total control to secure the industry’s future
Paul Heyman, along with Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed, kicked off the show. Heyman grabbed the mic and, in true fashion, hyped the young stars, introducing the “players.” He began by hyping up Bron Breakker as a key to the future, someone who would headline WrestleMania 45, 46, and beyond.
He moved on to Reed, claiming that by attacking Seth Rollins, Reed had carved a path for himself in a company that hadn’t given him a fair shot. Heyman continued, urging the crowd to thank Rollins for the sacrifice he made, stating that Rollins’ actions ensured a brighter future for the industry.
However, Heyman next words irked the crowd as he introduced Rollins as “The Visionary,” “The Architect,” and “The Future of the Industry,” asking the crowd to ‘acknowledge’ Seth “Freakin” Rollins. This was a direct hint at Roman Reigns, who starts his promo by asking the fans to acknowledge him.
While this irked the crowd in the arena, who started booing, it sparked speculations online as fans started to wonder if the OTC is making a return. Since the addition of Bronson Reed in the faction and the team of CM Punk and Sami Zayn being outnumbered has already sparked speculations for Reigns to return, and even the numbers game.
Reigns was last seen on the Raw after WrestleMania 41 show last month, where he tried and failed to get his hands on Heyman as Bron Breakker appeared out of nowhere to ambush him. Breakker obviously then aligned with the faction.
Roman Reigns is the best hope for Punk and Zayn if they want to take down Heyman’s crew. It will be interesting to see how this storyline progresses and if Reigns makes his return ahead of Money in the Bank 2025.
