The Beast's advocate, massive swerve - 5 stars Paul Heyman could return to WWE alongside
Paul Heyman has been absent from WWE television since the June 28 edition of SmackDown. The legend refused to acknowledge Solo Sikoa as his new Tribal Chief, as the Hall of Famer has remained loyal to Roman Reigns. However, the decision led to an attack by The Bloodline, and Heyman was powerbombed through the announce table and has not returned since.
Heyman could be getting ready to return to the promotion ahead of Survivor Series. The veteran could return with an old friend or perhaps start a new journey when he returns to WWE television.
Listed below are five WWE stars Paul Heyman could return to the company with.
#5. Paul Heyman could accompany Roman Reigns at WWE Survivor Series
Paul Heyman served as The Wiseman of The Bloodline for years and always accompanied Roman Reigns to the ring. However, Heyman has not been seen since he was attacked by his former faction earlier this year, and Reigns returned without his former mentor.
Heyman could make his triumphant return at WWE Survivor Series to accompany Roman Reigns, The Usos, and Sami Zayn for their WarGames match against the new version of The Bloodline. Solo Sikoa's faction might not be expecting Heyman to show up, and it could throw them off their game at the premium live event later this month.
#4. Heyman could return alongside Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar has not competed in a match since his loss to Cody Rhodes at WWE SummerSlam 2023. The Beast Incarnate could potentially return in the coming weeks, and he could have an old friend by his side.
Paul Heyman served as The Advocate for Brock Lesnar for several years before aligning with Roman Reigns and The Bloodline. Heyman may decide to reunite with Lesnar when the former champion finally returns to the company and perhaps guide his client to another major title reign.
#3. The Hall of Famer could reunite with CM Punk
Paul Heyman also served as the manager for CM Punk during his illustrious career. The veteran hinted at a reunion with Punk earlier this year on SmackDown and could approach The Second City Saint upon his return.
CM Punk has not been seen since the October 7 edition of WWE RAW. The Second City Saint got the better of Drew McIntyre in a violent Hell in a Cell Match last month and has not returned to the ring since. Heyman could offer to become Punk's manager once again and attempt to finally get the 46-year-old his first WrestleMania main event of his career.
#2. Bron Breakker could be the next Paul Heyman Guy
Bron Breakker has had an impressive run on the main roster so far and is the reigning Intercontinental Champion. He defeated Jey Uso last month to capture the title for the second time in his career. Paul Heyman and Bron Breakker had an interesting conversation last October in WWE NXT.
Heyman could return as the 27-year-old's new manager and help him put together a historic reign as Intercontinental Champion. Jimmy Uso also approached Breakker this past Monday night on RAW for a conversation, and it could lead to the former NXT Champion joining The OG Bloodline's team at Survivor Series: WarGames.
#1. Paul Heyman could turn heel and align with The Rock
The Bloodline brutally attacked Paul Heyman earlier this year because he refused to acknowledge Solo Sikoa as The Tribal Chief during Roman Reigns' hiatus. However, The Rock could be returning soon and may demand that Solo Sikoa address him as The Tribal Chief before he agrees to compete with The Bloodline at WWE Survivor Series 2024.
Heyman may also return at WWE Survivor Series but betray Roman Reigns in a shocking twist. The Wiseman could distract The Head of the Table at Survivor Series, allowing the new version of The Bloodline to pick up the victory. The 59-year-old may then decide to acknowledge The Rock as his new Tribal Chief at the premium live event.
