Paul Heyman's WWE return to take longer than expected? Exploring potential reason 

Paul Heyman hasn't been seen on TV since that fateful day when he got kicked out of The Bloodline by Solo Sikoa in the most brutal way possible. Meanwhile, the WWE Universe is yearning for the return of The Wiseman. However, could it be a while before we see him back on SmackDown?

The answer to that question is yes. As things stand, Paul Heyman's one and only Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, is scheduled for one more appearance, this week on SmackDown. After that, Reigns will likely only be seen again in September. Considering all this, WWE may hold off on having The Wiseman return to TV.

Assuming Reigns doesn't appear on SmackDown till September, WWE can use that time to bring back another huge name in Jimmy Uso. Following that, they may wait a while before reintroducing Paul Heyman to the WWE Universe. But, rest assured, he will be back, and when he arrives, it may be just in time for Bad Blood, where members of the old Bloodline can square off against the new.

When the old Bloodline is reunited, the WWE Universe will be ecstatic. At this point, it's not a matter of if, but when. That said, this is nothing more than speculation, and there is no telling what WWE has planned for the Hall of Famer.

Paul Heyman is scheduled for a major appearance this weekend

WWE could hold off on Paul Heyman's return, but they could alternatively choose to speed things up and bring him back very soon. This would be a huge surprise for the WWE Universe, but it is a possibility, especially given The Wiseman is scheduled for a major public appearance for the first time in a long time.

While Roman Reigns is on SmackDown this week in Orlando, Florida, Heyman will be in New York. The Hall of Famer will be at the Fanatics Fest, where he will take center stage alongside several other top stars as part of a panel. As mentioned earlier, it is a huge appearance that could signal his imminent return.

It will be interesting to see whether Heyman makes any mention of the current feud between The Original Tribal Chief and The Street Champion of the Island. One thing is for sure though: he will be watching it closely, and he will most likely be rooting for Reigns.
