45-year-old WWE veteran hints at replacing Paul Heyman in the new Bloodline after he was destroyed on SmackDown

WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman proved his loyalty to Roman Reigns on the latest episode of Friday Night SmackDown. However, in return, he was taken out by the new Bloodline members, and now a 45-year-old former manager has teased replacing Hayman as The Wiseman of the stable. The manager in question is Armando Estrada.

This week's blue show hosted in Madison Square Garden saw a "Bloodline Acknowledgment Ceremony" segment. This was held following Jacob Fatu's debut in the company on the June 21 episode of SmackDown. The Samoan Werewolf, Tonga Loa, and Tama Tonga acknowledged Solo Sikoa as the new leader of the Bloodline. However, Heyman denied to recognize the 31-year-old as "The Tribal Chief."

This resulted in a brutal attack on The Special Counsel by the Tongan brothers, Fatu and The Street Champion. Since Paul Heyman was loaded into an ambulance, a fan on X (formerly Twitter) suggested that Armando Estrada could make his return to WWE after over a decade as The Bloodline's new Wiseman.

For those unaware, the 45-year-old veteran used to manage the late Anoa'i family member, Umaga in World Wrestling Entertainment. Estrada added fuel to the fire with the following tweet:

"Be careful what you wish for....." he wrote.

Wrestling veteran says Roman Reigns' WWE return is near after Paul Heyman was attacked

Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell opened up about the segment that featured Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu hitting Heyman with a Triple Powerbomb through the announcer's table.

During an appearance on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk podcast, Mantell mentioned that WWE has set the stage for Roman Reigns' comeback after The Wisman was laid out by the new Bloodline members.

"Well, that was good because they got something. Now he's taken a turn. Now, you can smell Roman Reigns on the horizon. When he swoops in, they're already doing record business. They're on fire. When Roman comes in, it would just continue," he said.
