WWE’s Paul Heyman Names Best Storyline In Wrestling History

Paul Heyman has explained why The Bloodline saga is the greatest story in the history of pro wrestling.

On November 22nd, Paul Heyman made his triumphant return to WWE, five months after being brutally attacked by Solo Sikoa and his version of The Bloodline. The Wise Man immediately re-inserted himself into the long-running saga, introducing CM Punk as the fifth man Roman Reigns needed to even up the odds when the two Bloodlines clash at Survivor Series in WarGames.

Heyman has been a constant at Reigns’ side since he declared himself The Tribal Chief back in 2020, kicking off the storyline that has been the cornerstone of WWE TV for over four years now. It has seen The Head of the Table smash almost every record with his Undisputed WWE Universal Title reign, brought Sami Zayn and Jey Uso up to the main event, and took over the main events of both nights of WrestleMania 40 as The Rock joined Reigns in his feud with Cody Rhodes.

During an appearance on SHAK Wrestling with CBS Sports’ Shakiel Mahjouri, Heyman detailed why he believes The Bloodline has become the most significant and lucrative story in wrestling history.

“The money-drawing years of The Horsemen weren’t this long, the money-drawing years of the nWo wasn’t the long, the money-drawing years of Austin vs. McMahon wasn’t this long. Hogan vs. Savage, Hogan vs. Piper, which put Wrestlemania 1 on the map.

“So, just in terms of overall storytelling and constant ebb and flow of affecting other people’s environment on the roster and how they tell their stories, I suggest it’s the most significant. It’s the biggest money-drawing, it has the most longevity, it has held the most interest, and overall it 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 of these characters and the evolution of these characters is never lost on us.

“So 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 have to rank it Number 1. All false humility aside.”

Being A Paul Heyman Guy Damaged CM Punk In WWE

While it is now seen as a badge of honour, Paul Heyman has admitted that being one of his “guys” hurt CM Punk’s career. While Heyman was a big advocate for Punk from the time the star was part of WWE’s developmental system in 2005. Unfortunately, when Heyman legitimately had a falling out with WWE management in 2006, the future WWE Champion became collateral damage.
