Roman Reigns reveals the 'biggest mistake' of his WWE career

Roman Reigns' WWE career is filled with several iconic moments as The Original Tribal Chief became the face of the promotion under the old regime. However, he has his fair share of regrets and recently revealed the biggest mistake of his career.

In 2020, Roman Reigns did the unthinkable and allowed Paul Heyman to become his manager in the Stamford-based promotion. The WWE Hall of Famer became The Wiseman and guided The Original Tribal Chief in creating his own army and dominating the industry for years to come.

However, Heyman turned his back on Reigns and aligned with Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 41 in Nevada. In a sit-down interview with Jackie Redmond, the 40-year-old WWE star revealed that including Paul Heyman in The Bloodline was the biggest mistake of his career in the company, as he should've kept it within the family.

"And that's why, for me, I should've kept it simple. Should've kept it family only, Bloodline only. People with the same blood coursing through the same veins. That was my biggest mistake," Reigns said.

What's next for Roman Reigns following WWE Survivor Series 2025?

Roman Reigns is set to enter WarGames for the third time in his career, teaming up with some familiar faces and two past rivals in the Stamford-based promotion. However, The Original Tribal Chief's real goal is to take down The Vision and Paul Heyman.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (WON), Reigns was originally scheduled to face The Vision's Seth Rollins for the title in Nevada at WrestleMania 42. Unfortunately, those plans were changed once Rollins got injured at Crown Jewel in Perth and was removed from The Vision.

Moreover, the management is reportedly going to set up a major match for WrestleMania 42 at this year's Survivor Series in San Diego, and the tease will take place between Reigns and Punk or Reigns and Rhodes for the respective titles on the main roster.
