Paul Heyman's point about invading Tom Brady's Tampa Bay Buccaneers contract signing (for $75m), attacking him from behind with a kendo stick and then signing his own name on the paper was genius. Heyman said he wouldn't suddenly become Tampa Bay's new QB, so why should John Cena be Roman Reigns' new SummerSlam opponent?

Good call.

The best heels believe what they're saying, and Heyman has serious credibility here. Cena did sign a deal written for Finn Bálor, after all.
