Female star makes huge comments on Paul Heyman amid his WWE absence - "I’m not going to sit here and trash Paul"

A veteran female WWE performer has made notable comments on Paul Heyman amid his continued absence from TV as The Bloodline saga continues to simmer. Francine praised The Wiseman, under whose leadership she worked in ECW.

Ever since being booted out of The Bloodline by Solo Sikoa in June, Heyman has been away from the Stamford-based promotion. However, now that things have heated up with Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso reuniting to take down Sikoa and his stablemates, fans are eagerly waiting for Paul Heyman to get back.

Amid this, Francine, who closely worked with Heyman during her time in ECW in the 90s, discussed just how much of a positive impact he had on her career. In the recent edition of her Eyes Up Here podcast, the veteran performer mentioned that she credits a lot of her success in the wrestling business to The Wiseman.

"I’m not going to say what power he has over someone, but he is such a good speaker. He is so well-versed that you are going to take in everything that he says, and you are going to question yourself at one point. That’s what Paul does. I’m not the only one who says this about him. Everybody says this about him. A lot of people will say he’s a bullsh**ter, you know what I mean? You have those people who are not ‘Paul Heyman guys’ who don’t like Paul Heyman. I’m not going to sit here and trash Paul. I’ve never trashed Paul because, guess what? I wouldn’t be sitting here without Paul," said Francine. [H/T: Fightful Wrestling]

Francine also had a short stint in WWE from 2005-2006, where she worked in the rebranded version of Extreme Championship Wrestling.

Sam Roberts thinks Paul Heyman could return to WWE before Survivor Series 2024

A couple of days back on his NotSam Wrestling podcast, Sam Roberts explained that he could see Heyman finally returning in time for Survivor Series 2024. Roberts added that The Wiseman could help Roman Reigns and his teammates strategize for the rumored WarGames match against Solo Sikoa's Bloodline.

"I think maybe Paul Heyman is the last member of The Bloodline to come back. You know, I think it's like we're missing something, and then it's Heyman. Maybe right before WarGames Paul Heyman comes back to strategize how they win in WarGames," he said.

Apart from Heyman, Jey Uso is also expected to join forces with Jimmy Uso and Reigns, even though he declined the proposal on this week's RAW.
