Paul Heyman remains one of the biggest names in WWE despite not having appeared on TV for more than four months. Now, The Wiseman has sent a message ahead of his confirmed appearance, albeit outside the Stamford-based promotion.
The Bloodline Saga has been moving along at a frantic pace in recent weeks. The original version of the stable has gotten back together with Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, and Jimmy Uso joining hands again. Sami Zayn is also all but confirmed to have reunited with his former Bloodline stablemates, though his rumored meeting with Reigns on this week's SmackDown could give a clear picture of the road ahead.
However, one person who has been missing from all this is Paul Heyman. The Wiseman was taken out by Solo Sikoa and his Bloodline stablemates for refusing to acknowledge the 31-year-old star as his Tribal Chief. Since then, he has been away from WWE programming and has given little update on when he will be back.

However, Heyman has kept himself busy outside the Stamford-based promotion. He is gearing up to appear at the Big Event EXS in New York City on November 9, 2024. He recently took to his Instagram stories to share his excitement regarding it.

Vince Russo says WWE should have never pulled Paul Heyman from TV
While speaking on a recent edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW podcast, former WWE head writer Vince Russo mentioned the company's decision to have Paul Heyman removed from TV while The Bloodline Saga continues to heat up. Russo explained that the Stamford-based promotion could have had The Wiseman as Solo Sikoa's mouthpiece in his ongoing warfare with Roman Reigns:
"They dropped the ball on that dude. He should’ve been bulletproof until Roman Reigns came back. Regardless, why didn’t they keep Heyman around and let him go with Sikoa to really build Sikoa. They could have let Heyman do the talking, he could have still been in that Enforcer role. Wouldn’t that have been more valuable than sitting Heyman home for 3 months?"
With the Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 Premium Live Event rumored to feature a Men's WarGames Match pitting the old and new versions of The Bloodline against each other, it remains to be seen if Heyman returns in time for the upcoming event.
