An Unexpected Change: Paul Heyman’s Frustration at SummerSlam Press Conference Revealed
SummerSlam was a significant night for WWE, but the closing match and subsequent events left everyone talking. Roman Reigns was hurt during the match, leading to changes in planned media activities and potentially elevating tensions.
It’s been reported that Roman Reigns’ injury would not affect WWE’s creative plans, but an alteration occurred directly after SummerSlam. Roman Reigns was scheduled for the media conference, but Paul Heyman came out alone, visibly unhappy about his introduction by Byron Saxton.
Saxton, expecting Roman Reigns, introduced him instead of Heyman. Heyman, carrying Reigns’ title, was reportedly “pissed” and started to tear into Saxton before dropping the issue. Despite the flubbed introduction and everything else going on, Heyman, a consummate professional, carried on with the media with his usual demeanor.
