Paul Heyman spotted speaking to ex-US Champion's brother just 51 days after brutal assault from The Bloodline

Paul Heyman hasn't been seen on WWE television since June 28, when Solo Sikoa and The Bloodline took him out. At the Fanatics Fest in New York City, The Wiseman was seen interacting with the brother of a former United States Champion.

It's not known when Paul Heyman will be returning to WWE television. The WWE Hall of Fame 2024 headliner was taken out just over two months after his induction as he refused to acknowledge Solo Sikoa as his Tribal Chief. He repeatedly pleaded with Sikoa to change his course when forming The New Bloodline, referring to Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa as "thugs." However, he was recently seen interacting with Jake Paul.

Paul Heyman posted a video on his Instagram story where he was seen interacting with the brother of Logan Paul, Jake Paul. As you know, Logan Paul was the United States Champion until SummerSlam 2024 when LA Knight dethroned him.

Based on the somewhat audible story, fans can hear Jake Paul telling Heyman about his upcoming fight against Mike Tyson, a bout that was previously scheduled for July and will now be taking place in November. It will be broadcast on Netflix.

Paul Heyman explained why booting him out of The Bloodline was "necessary"

The Wiseman had to take a hiatus following the brutal assault on June 28, 2024. However, now that Roman Reigns is back, we could see The Wiseman returning for his Tribal Chief sooner rather than later.

Heyman seems to think that Solo Sikoa taking him out was the right decision. In a rather surprising response, Paul Heyman explained:

"Well, they had to do that. That's the exclamation point of what they're doing. At some point, for Solo [Sikoa] to become The Tribal Chief, for Tama Tonga to become The Right Hand Man, for Jacob Fatu to become The Enforcer, you have to take out The Wiseman. I'm the last link to the original Bloodline," said Paul Heyman. [1:08 onwards]

As you might know, Heyman's relationship with Roman Reigns and the Anoa'i family is very real and dates back decades to when Heyman was a young up-and-comer trying to make it in the wrestling business. A couple of the people he happened to cross paths with were the legendary duo of Afa and Sika, both of whom sadly passed away recently.
