Legendary WWE figure Paul Heyman seems to be in the most trouble he has ever been in. On SmackDown's latest episode, Heyman was viciously attacked by the Solo Sikoa-led Bloodline. The highlight of the attack was Heyman being powerbombed on the announcer's table.
While no one came to save The Wiseman when he was being attacked last week, the coming weeks might witness the return of a controversial superstar to save him. The star in question is none other than The Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar.
On the June 21st edition of SmackDown, Heyman was seen trying to connect and seek help from his old friend CM Punk. However, that move failed as Punk was attacked by Drew McIntyre. The return of Roman Reigns also seems difficult given that his legendary father, Sika Anoa'i, recently passed away.
This leaves Paul Heyman with no one to turn to. Hence, when Heyman least expects it, Brock Lesnar could make his return and save him from the Solo Sikoa-led Bloodline. Given that the upcoming Money in the Bank will take place in Canada, a Lesnar return could very well be possible.

Ex-WWE manager believes Paul Heyman being attacked could indicate the return of Roman Reigns
Since Roman Reigns lost to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40, The Tribal Chief has not appeared on WWE programming. In his absence from WWE, several people have cheered for Reigns and expressed their desire to see him again. As per an ex-WWE manager, Regins' return might be sooner than we think.
During an episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, ex-WWE manager Dutch Mantell discussed Solo Sikoa and The Bloodline attacking Paul Heyman on SmackDown. Mantell said:
"Well, I knew this was coming. This is a sign of tremendous timing in booking. We knew it was coming, everybody could see it was coming, it was just a matter of when. They set it up masterfully tonight and it’s at the end of the night, so everybody got the idea, 'Ok, something big is coming,' and they weren’t disappointed at all. I thought they would hold this off a little more to where Roman is either there or close to coming back. He may be close, who knows? After this, I don’t think he can hold off much longer. He’s going to have to show up within the next week or a couple of weeks and Paul Heyman will be missing." [From 24:41 onwards]
If Roman Reigns does end up returning to save Paul Heyman from The Bloodline, one can only imagine the pop he will get. The coming episodes of SmackDown will be very interesting to follow.
