17 Things You Probably Missed From WWE SmackDown (Aug 27)

3. What Roman Reigns Said To Paul Heyman

Did Roman Reigns just reference Paul Heyman's history with Ryback?!

Probably not, but he did tell Paul E, "I love you" before the 'Family Celebration' segment to close the show. Older fans may recall that Heyman told Ryback he loved him when they were manager and client way back when, and they ended up splitting up not long afterwards.

Fingers crossed this isn't the beginning of the end for Heyman and Reigns. Surely not. They're gold together, and a Paul babyface turn (to be back by Brock Lesnar's side) would be risky at best and stupid at worst.
