Since Raw started airing on Netflix, it feels like Raw has become even better than SmackDown. This feeling grew stronger again after this week’s Monday Night Raw, which had some amazing promos.
One of the best was Paul Heyman’s promo, where he honored his Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, and revealed the WWE 2K25 game cover featuring Reigns.
As the last Raw episode before the Royal Rumble, fans expected Roman Reigns to give an unforgettable promo, but he didn’t appear. Instead, his Wiseman, Paul Heyman, stepped into the ring with a mic and talked about Reigns’ greatness.
Heyman then unveiled the WWE 2K25 game cover, showing the Tribal Chief in a powerful pose with his aura, ready to deliver his Superman Punch. Heyman stood in the background, acknowledging Reigns’ strength.
IT'S OFFICIAL: Paul Heyman just confirmed that Roman Reigns is the official cover star of WWE 2K25.

This is the second time Reigns has been on the cover of a WWE game, the first being in WWE 2K19. During the promo, Heyman also hyped up Reigns’ upcoming Royal Rumble entrance, saying, “I am the one behind the one in 29 vs. one.”
With this statement, he made it clear that as Reigns’ special counsel, he would support him win the Royal Rumble and earn a championship shot at WrestleMania 41.
Drew McIntyre wants Roman Reigns to show some gratitude
After revealing the game cover featuring Roman Reigns, Drew McIntyre entered the ring and interrupted Heyman. He told the special counsel that he should thank him because Drew helped both him and Roman Reigns become successful.
Drew went on to talk about how he helped Reigns become the top star in WWE. Now, Drew is on the game cover, and he thinks he deserves some gratitude. He said all he wanted was a simple “thank you.”

In response, Heyman expressed his gratitude to “The Scottish Warrior,” but he was extremely nervous due to McIntyre’s close proximity. However, McIntyre didn’t come into the ring with bad intentions, though he’s an unpredictable character.
