Mark Henry Invokes WWE Hall of Famer in Discussion of Roman Reigns’ Return

The new Bloodline has ousted longtime protagonist Paul Heyman in a violent, brutal fashion, drawing the ire of WWE fans. On a recent “Busted Open Radio,” WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry believes the once-villainous Roman Reigns will return to WWE for revenge, and fans can’t get enough.

“When Roman (Reigns) comes back and says, ‘Wiseman, thank you for your support… but I don’t want you standing ringside because I can’t be held responsible for what I’m about to do to them because they touched you,'” Henry began, “then Roman will be the biggest babyface since Shawn Michaels.”

Henry recounts watching Michaels plead with the crying fans in the front row, who were so convinced of “The Heartbreak Kid” that they sometimes jumped over the barricades to help the former WWE champion.

“I think Roman is going to be there. Roman is going to be the biggest babyface of this decade,” Henry said.

Reigns has not been seen on WWE television since losing the Undisputed WWE Championship to “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes in the main event of Night 2 of WrestleMania 40. In his place, Solo Sikoa has taken over leadership of The Bloodline faction, installing Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa and Jacob Fatu as his psychopathic enforcers and banishing former tag team champion Jimmy Uso. Heyman refused to acknowledge the group’s new leader, resulting in him being beaten up and down by the group, eventually being powerbombed through an announce table at Madison Square Garden.
