Paul Heyman may have subtly confirmed he will betray Roman Reigns and reunite with former WWE champion
The return of Paul Heyman on the latest edition of WWE SmackDown has significantly heightened fans’ anticipation for Survivor Series: WarGames 2024. The Wiseman didn’t return alone, however, as he brought CM Punk with him as the fifth member of the OG Bloodline for the upcoming double-ring WarGames match.
However, fans have noticed a subtle detail that might indicate Heyman is planning to betray Roman Reigns and align himself with Solo Sikoa.
Paul Heyman's appearance had a big noticeable change
Heyman’s appearance on SmackDown featured a noticeable change as he wore a red-and-black attire. Fans quickly pointed out that this color scheme was strikingly similar to Solo Sikoa’s recent choice of attire.
Solo has been sporting a similar red-and-black combination since post-WrestleMania XL. This was the time when Paul Heyman briefly worked with him after Roman Reigns went on hiatus.
This resemblance in the outfits has led to speculation that Heyman’s return to the blue brand could be part of a larger plan to betray Roman and reunite with Solo.
Heyman returned unexpectedly after his phone was out of service last week
During last week’s SmackDown, Paul Heyman’s phone number was out of service, raising suspicions about The Wiseman’s return to the blue brand this week. The biggest question remains: Why was his number unreachable, and who contacted Heyman to orchestrate his return this week, given that he hasn’t seemingly had any contact with the Original Tribal Chief?
Additionally, Paul Heyman’s drastic change in appearance has fueled further speculation that he might only be pretending to align with Reigns, with plans to betray him later. It’s possible that this was part of a larger scheme orchestrated by Solo Sikoa.
The new Bloodline leader could have been the one to summon The Wiseman back, using him to regain Roman’s trust. At an opportune moment, Heyman could betray Roman Reigns and officially side with Solo, marking a dramatic shift in the Bloodline saga.
The Wiseman's potential betrayal of Roman Reigns could be influenced by a family elder
Solo Sikoa ousted Paul Heyman from the Bloodline after WrestleMania XL, making a potential reunion between the two unlikely unless The Rock emerges as the one pulling the strings behind the screen. It’s possible that The Final Boss influenced The Wiseman to reconsider his decision, pointing out how The Original Tribal Chief wasn’t there for Heyman when he needed him most.
Following this intervention, The Rock could have persuaded Heyman to align with Solo Sikoa in secret while maintaining the appearance of loyalty to Roman Reigns. On the orders of The People’s Champion, Roman's Wiseman might now be working covertly with Solo, setting the stage for a larger plan.
Even Heyman’s recent return on SmackDown could be part of The Rock’s broader scheme. While it seems like Paul Heyman is aligned with Reigns, he might actually be secretly supporting the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief.
