Paul Heyman to recruit 6’8’’ star as bodyguard to protect himself from The Bloodline? Chances explored

Roman Reigns' Wiseman Paul Heyman is currently experiencing a good time as his client registered a victory over Solo Sikoa on RAW's premiere on Netflix. However, SmackDown later on proved to be troublesome for Heyman as he was nearly attacked by Tama Tonga and Jacob Fatu.

While Jimmy Uso and Cody Rhodes came out and saved Heyman, this might not be possible every time. Hence, The Wiseman could be lured to hire a bodyguard to protect himself from the Sikoa-led Bloodline. On the upcoming episode of SmackDown, Heyman could introduce Hikuleo as his new bodyguard.

A former NJPW wrestler, the 6' 8" giant is reported to have signed with WWE. While he has yet to make his on-screen debut, he could do the same as Heyman's bodyguard. However, this association could also go south for The Wiseman as Hikuleo is related to Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa.

That's why it won't be surprising to see him shift his loyalties towards the Tongans, thus betraying Paul Heyman. Even though the above-mentioned angle is speculative, it could be a great way to introduce a star like Hikuleo to WWE programming.

Paul Heyman's reaction to intense moment draws praise from veteran wrestling journalist

If not for Jimmy Uso and then Cody Rhodes, Paul Heyman would fall victim to a brutal attack by Tama Tonga and Jacob Fatu yet again. While the situation was handled and Heyman escaped unharmed, a veteran wrestling journalist spoke about The Wiseman's reaction this past week.

During an episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, veteran wrestling journalist Bill Apter praised Heyman's expression when Tama and Fatu nearly ganged up on him. Apter further mentioned that the photo of Heyman's expression could be framed.

"The look of terror on Paul Heyman's face was priceless. You could frame that photo." [From 7:03 onwards]

You can check out Apter speaking about Heyman's reaction in the video below:

While Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga were pretty hostile towards Heyman, it remains to be seen how the latter is treated by Solo Sikoa. On next week's episode of SmackDown, Sikoa will be returning for the first time since losing the Tribal Combat Match to Roman Reigns on RAW's Netflix premiere.

It will be interesting to see if Sikoa shares a moment with Heyman when the former returns. Also, it will be worth observing whether he chooses to attack The Wiseman the way he did last year.
