Paul Heyman may be gone for "a long, long time," says WWE name; future uncertain

Paul Heyman needed to be taken out of the arena on a stretcher on WWE SmackDown this past week. Now, a WWE name has spoken about his future following the attack.

SmackDown commentator Corey Graves has now spoken about Heyman. On the blue brand, Solo Sikoa demanded the entire Bloodline acknowledge him, and they did so individually. Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa called him their Tribal Chief. However, when it came to Paul Heyman, The Wiseman was conflicted. He started to say it, but then he said that while he loved Sikoa, he acknowledged that he was not his Tribal Chief, still staying loyal to Roman Reigns. This led to a brutal attack on Heyman by the Bloodline that saw the Hall of Famer being taken out and put through the table.

On RAW this week, Graves was on duty due to Pat McAfee's absence. During the show, Corey said that Heyman's future was uncertain. He was also distraught by what he had seen happen to The Wiseman and felt that they would not be seeing Paul Heyman for a very long time following the attack.

However, he also promised to update the fans with more information when they find out.

"Cole, I've got a bad feeling we're not going to see The Wiseman for a long, long time," he said.

With Heyman now on the shelf, the Bloodline is without a single original group member for the first time since Reigns and Heyman started it.
