Paul Heyman is set to address the fans on SmackDown. He was surprised as soon as he arrived for the show.

Heyman has been The Wiseman for Roman Reigns throughout his historic run as Universal Champion. As The Wiseman, he was by Roman's side and offered him advice whenever needed. He also helped elevate The OTC's game to the next level.

However, after Roman Reigns lost the title at WrestleMania 40, he was gone for a few months which allowed Solo Sikoa to take over The Bloodline. Solo took out Heyman after the latter refused to acknowledge him. Heyman returned before Survivor Series to announce CM Punk would be joining the OG Bloodline in the WarGames match.

Since Survivor Series: WarGames, Heyman again disappeared from TV for a while. However, with Reigns set to compete against Solo Sikoa during RAW's debut on Netflix, Heyman was set to address the fans tonight.

WWE cameras showed him arriving at the arena. However, when he looked at a metal detector, The Wiseman got startled and he walked around it. Michael Cole even questioned what he was carrying to avoid the metal detector.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
