Paul Heyman was a pivotal character behind Roman Reigns finally turning heel and becoming the Tribal Chief, a character and a storyline that will go down in history as one of WWE’s greatest plots and one that has elevated the status of Roman Reigns from “not good enough” to the greatest of his era, some might even say the greatest of all time.
But the character that is the Tribal Chief is incomplete without his Wiseman. Paul Heyman was written off WWE television after being attacked by Solo Sikoa and his new Bloodline consisting of the Tanga brothers and Jacob Fatu. They attacked him and powerbombed him on the announce table when he refused to acknowledge Solo Sikoa as his Tribal Chief. He has not been seen on WWE TV ever since.
Many thought he would return to WWE Bad Blood, but that wasn’t the case. We got Jimmy Uso returning and aligning with Roman Reigns, and The Final Boss made his much-anticipated return as well.
But the Wiseman was nowhere to be found. So, that keeps us guessing when and how he will finally return. Here are 5 ways how we think Paul Heyman can align with his Tribal Chief:
Knowing Paul Heyman and his character, this could be a high possibility. Now that The Final Boss is back, he might and most likely is going to be the leader of Solo Sikoa’s New Bloodline, while Solo will just be the full-time puppet executing his commands.
Heyman could negotiate a deal with Dwane, agreeing to become the Wiseman to him, but secretly still work for Roman Reigns, telling him about all of The Final Boss’s whereabouts. And when the timing is right, he will just stab him and come back to Roman Reigns as his Wiseman.
WWE has done kidnapping storylines before, and this could be the direction that they take to bring back Paul Heyman to WWE TV. Roman Reigns has already one-upped Solo Sikoa by pinning him at Bad Blood. Now, Solo Sikoa needs something of relevance to go after Reigns again.
So, he might decide to kidnap Paul Heyman and manipulate Roman Reigns into acknowledging him as the Tribal Chief to further his agenda. WWE might book this after Crown Jewel and might as well do it at the event to create a memorable moment in the PLE.
Paul Heyman is a missing integral piece in the original Bloodline puzzle. But there are two more men without whom the puzzle is incomplete. That is the current Intercontinental Champion Jey Uso and the former Honorary Uce Sami Zayn, both of whom were forced to leave the Bloodline due to Roman Reigns and his gigantic ego.
But Roman seems to understand his mistakes and not repeat them like he did in the past. Paul Heyman, who has always been loyal to his Tribal Chief, might go over to the red brand and try to convince Zayn and Jey Uso to come to the aid of their brothers at SmackDown.
It will be a tough job to do, considering the history, but certainly one that the Wiseman is capable of doing.
Hikuleo signed with the WWE in the same timeline as Jacob Fatu and is yet to make his WWE debut. WWE might have something grand planned for him. While many are speculating that he will be part of Solo Sikoa’s faction in the future, a lot of us are sleeping on the fact that WWE might have him planned as the new enforcer who is capable of battling Jacob Fatu, and he might help Roman Reigns in the civil war after all.
Paul Heyman might be out in kayfabe trying to find Jacob Fatu’s great neutralizer, and he can finally return when he has found one with Hikuleo, who will be Roman Reigns’s new enforcer in The Bloodline Civil War.
Roman Reigns has been advertised for a lot of SmackDowns in the subsequent future. He will not be working a full-time schedule, but in order to advance his storylines with the Bloodline, he will be working all the upcoming PLEs up till WrestleMania 41.
This means he will be cutting promos and involved in a lot of segments for the blue brand in the upcoming months. There’s a good chance that Paul Heyman abruptly shows up in the ring in the middle of one of Roman’s segments and tells him how Solo Sikoa and his new Bloodline have terrorized and victimized him in his absence.
We know Paul can hit it out of the park with his raw ability to sell emotions and his unmatchable mic skills. That might be the way he finally aligns with his Tribal Chief.
