Paul Heyman reunites with 'rival' amid WWE hiatus

Paul Heyman has been away from television programming since getting taken out by The Bloodline earlier this year. However, the Wiseman has been making public appearances during this time. He recently reunited with an old rival during a non-WWE event, Kayla Baxton.

Heyman was left alone with Solo Sikoa's iteration of The Bloodline as Roman Reigns went on a hiatus after losing to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40, while Jimmy Uso was kicked out of the group. However, the veteran refused to acknowledge Solo as his Tribal Chief, which led to him being on the receiving end of a brutal beatdown from the heel faction. While Reigns and Jimmy have returned to action, Heyman still remains absent.

Paul Heyman has been busy with non-WWE ventures during his time away from television programming. He recently appeared at Big Event NY, one of the largest pro wrestling conventions. The Hall of Famer also reunited with an old foe at the autograph signing as Kayla Braxton was also present at the event. A picture of the two embracing has been making rounds on social media.

You can check out the viral photograph in the post below:

Heyman and Braxton shared a unique love-hate relationship during the latter's time as the SmackDown backstage interviewer. However, Kayla is no longer a part of the global juggernaut.

WWE analyst believes Paul Heyman will soon reunite with the OG Bloodline

The OG Bloodline reunited on SmackDown last night as Sami Zayn helped Roman Reigns and the Usos even the numbers game against Solo Sikoa's faction.

While the reunion is incomplete without Paul Heyman, WWE analyst Sam Roberts believes that the Wiseman is likely to return before the WarGames match between the two groups.

I think The Wiseman will be back with The Bloodline soon, or at least I truly truly hope so. The only thing that can actually bring this family back together is The Wiseman. That's what The Bloodline needs. I think we'll get our WarGames match. And there is no manager that is more equipped to handle a WarGames match than Paul Heyman," said Roberts.

While Heyman has not made an appearance on WWE programming since being put through the announcer's table by The Bloodline, he has been present backstage at multiple shows.

The veteran reportedly still has a lot of say in The Bloodline storyline that takes new twists and turns every week.
