Roman Reigns just returned to WWE last week onSmackDown and there are several names having an influence on The Tribal Chief's television impact.

For the modern era of pro wrestling, Roman Reigns has been on an unprecedented run with the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship and several players have had their hands in the creative pool.

A new report from Fightful Select states that even with Vince McMahon being pushed out of WWE creative, the operation behind the Reigns machine has remained relatively unchanged.  The primary two people embedded in process are Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns himself. 

Additionally, the overall operation of how The Bloodline story is handled comes courtesy of WWE Hall of Famer, Michael P.S. Hayes. If Roman Reigns is involved in a segment, Hayes is likely involved and even if Reigns isn't, the former Freebird is still a primary point of contact. As a matter of fact, Hayes was involved in the Sami Zayn promo and main event match this past Monday on WWE Raw.

Misconception Cleared About LA Knight

The new report from Fightful Select also briefly touches upon LA Knight being put in a memorable confrontation with Roman Reigns this past week on SmackDown. LA Knight stared eye-to-eye with Reigns, teasing a potential match between the two in the future. 

Although many may assume that Knight may have been placed in such a primary spot due to the creative exit of McMahon, that happens to not be the case. LA Knight has reportedly been slated for that position even when Vince McMahon was still tinkering behind-the-scenes.
