WATCH: Paul Heyman praises Roman Reigns' courage to show up despite Leukemia

An old video of Paul Heyman praising and motivating Roman Reigns during his difficult period with Leukemia has gone viral on social media. The incident was before the pandemic when Roman announced that he was suffering from the condition. Backstage on the roster, Paul had a bit of a conversation with Roman. The courage of the Bloodline star inspired the popular manager.

The video has gone viral on X, Instagram, and other social media platforms. Paul Heyman appreciated that Roman was willing to fight the medical condition and overcome it to be the wrestler he always wanted to be. He encouraged the Tribal Chief not to give up and go for the recovery.

A few years after the segment, Roman returned to SummerSlam as the Tribal Chief in 2020. Later at the Fastlane 2020, Paul became the Wiseman of Roman. But the video was about Paul trusting Roman when the entire WWE universe was against the idea of Roman being the 'Big Dog'.

From the 'Big Dog' to the 'Tribal Chief'

After 2020, Roman Reigns became one of the biggest heels the company had ever seen. He deployed Paul as his manager and got the entire Bloodline to back him up. The faction conquered World title and the tag team titles of both brands and unified them. 

The WWE universe was all about the Bloodline in the period. They ensured that the company had a huge rise in the business which almost doubled compared to what it was in 2019. Most of its credits go to Roman who has been the biggest star of the company in the last five years or so.

Paul was the Wiseman in the period and esnured that the Bloodline got everything they wanted. He ensured that the Bloodline remained in the power by conquering the locker room. But before everything could happen, Heyman recognized the talent, willpower, and the courage to be the top guy to carry the company. And Roman indeed became the guy of WWE.
