Paul Heyman to return with his major new client, 8-time champion on WWE SmackDown? Exploring potential betrayal

Paul Heyman has been absent from WWE programming since June 2024, when he was attacked by The Bloodline. At that time, The Wiseman was unable to contact Roman Reigns and he was constantly being threatened by Solo Sikoa.

There is a belief that Heyman is making his return to WWE to align with Roman Reigns against Solo Sikoa's Bloodline, but this might not be the case. Reigns left The Wiseman behind and was not there to save him when the latter was attacked by the heel group. Paul made it clear that he did not recognize Sikoa as his Tribal Chief, but he did not say that he recognized Reigns in this role as well.

It would be interesting if Heyman returned to WWE and appeared as though he was going to join forces with The Original Tribal Chief, before actually unveiling Jimmy Uso as his new client and then making his own version of The Bloodline. Several stars including Hikuleo and Zilla Fatu could join Heyman's faction and go against Roman Reigns and The Bloodline as well.

Reigns left Jimmy, who is an eight-time WWE champion, behind as well after the latter was assaulted and kicked out of The Bloodline just days after WrestleMania XL, which could be a reason why Uso might still be holding a grudge against Roman.

Will Paul Heyman return with Jimmy Uso on WWE SmackDown?

Paul Heyman has been spotted traveling ahead of WWE SmackDown and there is a belief that he could be heading to be part of the show.

Roman Reigns is set to team up with Cody Rhodes to take on Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu in a tag team match at Bad Blood 2024 and this itself could cause Reigns some issues. Rhodes and Heyman do not see eye to eye and have had issues over the past two years while Roman was feuding with The American Nightmare.

It remains to be seen whether The Wiseman will appear on the blue brand this week or not.
