Kofi Kingston usually does not take a hard stance on anything and we never hear much from him. However, he seems pretty sure that WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns is going down the wrong path.

In a recent interview with ABC6 News, the former WWE Tag Team Champion expressed his opinion in detail.

“To me, Reigns was the guy who had all the tools. He’s a movie star, ‘The Big Dog’, and the top dog in the entire yard. That’s why I ask, why does he need this parasite, Paul Heyman? Why does he need him to further himself when he’s already the top dog? I really don’t get it,” says Kofi.

The New Day member surely feels that Roman Reigns does not really need a man like Paul Heyman beside him. By calling Heyman a ‘parasite’, he hints that the manager only sides with the most successful and jumps ship if a better opportunity comes his way.

“I’m going to talk to him when I get there and figure out what’s going on,” says Kofi. “Because, out of all the people in the world, why Paul Heyman, man? I don’t think he needed to go that route.”

This moment sent shockwaves throughout the WWE Universe. Heyman had found a new beast to manage and is clearly going to make the most of it.

Kofi still looks upon Heyman with suspicious eyes. He suggests that the manager may be taking a bigger slice than he is accountable for. Kofi may be right, but on the other hand, there’s not much you can do if you’re not a ‘Paul Heyman Guy’.
