Paul Heyman discusses how The Usos were used within The Bloodline.
Speaking on The Pat McAfee Show, Heyman was asked to share his thoughts following Jey’s betrayal on Friday’s SmackDown, where he joined his brother outside of The Bloodline, nailing Roman Reigns with multiple superkicks.
“100% my fault? I don’t know how we could take that position, though I do respect your opinion. Listen, this is growing pains. The Usos are now experiencing the same growing pains that they did when they were children, and they always were second to Roman Reigns, whether it be on the football field or at the house or who got the better food for the better nutrition to build the better body, or who could just whoop whose ass in the back yard. It was always The Tribal Chief that remained dominant over the twins, and it did take two twins to put one Tribal Chief down. I love the twins. I love Jey and Jimmy, and I hope that they will display the same greatness that they did as the greatest tag team champions of all time when they take their beatings from Roman Reigns and Solo at Money in the Bank July 1 in London. I’m very proud of them for being willing to take those beatings,”
“It’s like everyone wants to shoot out in the OK Corral. When you are the top gunslinger, everyone says, ‘Well, I could draw the gun faster,’ but nobody truly can. When Roman Reigns is the undisputed number one biggest box office attention of all time, the WrestleMania grosses speak for themselves, the grosses in Saudi Arabia speak for themselves, the grosses in London and in Cardiff speak for themselves, the ratings on SmackDown, and this is with the loss of Pat McAfee as our color commentator, speak for themselves. So everyone wants to take their pokes and take their criticism of Roman Reigns, and of course they do. He’s undisputed number one, and when you are the undisputed number one, everybody says they can do [better]. ‘I could have been a better president than Abraham Lincoln.’ Oh, okay. I’m sure you could be. ‘I could have been the first guy on the moon.’ Yeah, I’m sure you could have been. ‘I could have beaten Michael Jordan in a game of Horse.’ Yeah, I’m sure you could have. ‘I could have done a duel with Wayne Gretzky on the ice and scored on him.’ I’m sure you could have, but none of them do. Everybody points their little nasty fingers at Roman Reigns, and they say, ‘But he’s the undisputed Tribal Chief.’ Until someone fan knock him off that throne, then we’re just gonna have to live with the criticism,”
Paul Heyman
Heyman of course will remain by the side of Roman Reigns for Money in The Bank when The Bloodline Civil War comes to London at Money In The Bank.
