WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman believes that the company is no longer a niche product and is “driving pop culture now.
On January 6, WWE Raw made their debut on the Netflix streaming service after spending more than 30 years on cable television.
This move comes in the midst of one of the WWE’s hottest periods in regards to business and critical acclaim.
In a new interview with Variety, Paul Heyman discussed WWE evolving from a “boutique industry” to a driving force of pop culture. He said:
“We’re no longer a boutique industry,”
“We’re not on the fringe. We’re driving pop culture now, and with the fact that Roman Reigns is the undisputed top box office attraction, the number one star in the entire industry, and his Wiseman, are driving these cultural phenomenon, I would suggest the youth of this world is in very good hands right now.”
On the WWE 2K25 video game featuring him and Roman Reigns on the cover as well as The Bloodline being highlighted in this year’s Showcase Mode, Heyman said:
“It’s truly a reaffirming moment for The Bloodline and the members within The Bloodline that Roman Reigns and I are on the cover of this video game,”
“It’s a mainstream acknowledgement of the contributions to the entire sports entertainment industry by the Tribal Chief and his Wiseman.”
“It’s a huge step into the mainstream. It’s an encapsulation of this moment in time in which the disruption of the entire industry by Roman Reigns is hereby acknowledged.”
Roman Reigns recently revealed who he believes is the funniest member of The Bloodline, which you can read at this link here.
