Braun Strowman has once again called out Roman Reigns on RAW, challenging a statement made by Paul Heyman about Reigns’ injury history. Strowman confronted the narrative Heyman presented, asserting the truth about Reigns being removed on a stretcher after brutal encounters.
During the show, Paul Heyman claimed that before facing Bronson Reed, Roman Reigns had never been beaten so badly that he required stretcher assistance leaving the arena, painting Reed as the only wrestler who inflicted such a severe beating. This assertion did not sit well with Braun Strowman, who quickly responded by sharing images that contradict Heyman’s statement. Strowman highlighted multiple occasions where he himself had put Reigns on a stretcher due to significant injuries he caused in their past battles.
Paul Heyman’s Remark on Bronson Reed’s Impact Against Roman Reigns
Paul Heyman asserted that Roman Reigns feared Bronson Reed and implied that Reed was uniquely brutal compared to all of Reigns’ previous rivals. Heyman emphasized the unparalleled severity of Reed’s attack by stating Reigns had never before required stretcher evacuation during his life, including his football years and wrestling career.
“Well you should. Not once in your… forget about your career. Not once in your entire life have you suffered a beating to such a degree that you needed a stretcher. That you could not leave on your own volition, not once. All those football games at Georgia Tech, not once did you leave on a stretcher. All those Anoa’i Family barbecues, that doubles with drunken Samoans having a Battle Royal in the backyard, not once did you leave on a stretcher. And in your entire career, let alone even before you were the Tribal Chief with me at the height of your greatness, not once in your career did a man lay a beating on you at such a degree that you were placed on a stretcher, carried out of the arena, placed in an ambulance, and taken all the way to the hospital.”
— Paul Heyman
Braun Strowman Retaliates by Revealing the Truth
Braun Strowman did not remain silent after Heyman’s claim. By posting photographs of the moments Reigns had been placed on a stretcher following their confrontations, Strowman directly refuted the statement. He further mocked Heyman by comparing him to Oswald Cobblepot, a notorious Batman villain better known as Penguin, highlighting Heyman’s attempt at spinning a false narrative.
“🥱🥱🥱🥱 yea ok Oswald Cobblepot!!”

Strowman’s challenge brought renewed attention to the physical toll that Reigns has endured during his career and questioned Heyman’s credibility as his advocate.
The Broader Implications for Roman Reigns’ Upcoming Matches
As tensions rise ahead of the Crown Jewel event, the question remains whether Bronson Reed will continue his onslaught or if Roman Reigns can maintain his dominance. The conflicting accounts from Heyman and Strowman add an extra layer of intrigue to their developing storyline. This confrontation exposes fissures within Reigns’ camp and the ongoing battle for narrative control surrounding his legacy.
Paul Heyman’s portrayal of Roman Reigns as almost invincible except for Bronson Reed contrasts strongly with Braun Strowman’s vivid reminders of Reigns’ vulnerabilities. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how these claims hold up in the ring and what repercussions they have for RAW’s direction.
