It was the time when the 38-year-old announced the return of his leukemia and went on hiatus for its treatment. Roman Reigns’ special counsel, Paul Heyman nostalgically revealed some interesting things about it.
While speaking on Tetragrammaton with Rick Rubin, Heyman spoke about how Roman had a life-changing incident and how it shaped his world. He poignantly recalled those days and gave his thoughts on them. The 57-year-old said that his battle with leukemia gave him a deeper appreciation for life.
Paul Heyman said, “I’m sure it gave him a greater appreciation of life. I’m sure it gave him a greater appreciation of one’s own mortality.” The Wise Man believes that it gave Roman a new perspective on life and changed a lot of things for him. He stated how the stories of other people who came out of this disease successfully gave Roman hope during his treatment.
The WWE veteran then spoke about Reigns and his family’s current well-being. Paul Heyman thanked God and said that he is so lucky to have his father and mother alive and healthy. He called Roman Reigns a blessed man and a legendary father.
Paul Heyman admires John Cena in real life
John Cena and Paul Heyman (via Zona Wrestling)John Cena is one of the most loved and respected superstars in WWE. He is not only a great performer but also one of the kindest human beings. It is well known how much fans admire him. But WWE’s own Paul Heyman is also one of those fans who has a massive amount of respect for The Cenation Leader.
Speaking on the Tetragrammaton podcast, Heyman stated that he would refer Cena to his grandchildren. He said that he would say,“That man’s a superhero.” He stated that how John Cena is an incredible person on and off the screen. The 57-year-old also said that Cena does things not out of need but because it is the right thing to do.
He even told the story of how once Vince McMahon asked the 16-time World Champion to do his “Make-a-wish” campaign publicly. Cena doing it publicly would make people incline more toward it. But the Cenation Leader never approved it, as he had no interest in his recognition. He stayed away from the publicity of it and continued doing it for those children’s sake.
