Paul Heyman shares WWE announcement ahead of SmackDown
WWE veteran, Paul Heyman shared an announcement ahead of tonight's episode of SmackDown. This week's edition of the blue brand was taped last week as the promotion is currently on tour in Japan.
Heyman has not been seen since he was brutally attacked by The Bloodline on the June 28 episode of WWE SmackDown. The Wiseman refused to acknowledge Solo Sikoa as his new Tribal Chief and the faction reacted by Powerbombing him through the announcer's table.
Heyman took to his Instagram story tonight ahead of SmackDown to promote the latest episode of Biography: WWE Legends airing on A&E Network on Sunday night that features the Hall of Famer, and you can check out his message in the screengrab below or by clicking here.

Paul Heyman has remained loyal to Roman Reigns as his Tribal Chief despite the veteran not appearing on television since his loss to Cody Rhodes in the main event of WrestleMania XL Night Two.
Former WWE writer criticizes Paul Heyman for being "over the top"
Wrestling veteran, Vince Russo, believes Paul Heyman was being overly dramatic with his recent performances on SmackDown.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW podcast, Russo criticized the legend for his over-the-top television appearances. He noted that like Heyman, he too had gone a whole day without sleep, and yet he didn't look as disheveled as the Hall of Famer.
"To me, Paul Heyman is just so over the top. I gotta tell you. A lot of people give him credit for he wanted to be a character actor so I guess he didn't sleep or something and he didn't shave and his eyes were all red. I gotta tell you something honestly, I've gone 24 hours without sleeping. I've not looked as hideous as that," said Russo. [From 10:45 onwards]
You can check out Russo's comments in the video below:
Solo Sikoa has made himself the new leader of The Bloodline and welcomed Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa to the faction. He will be squaring off against Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at SummerSlam on August 3. Only time will tell when Reigns and Heyman will return to the company.
