WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman has been absent from WWE programming since being brutally attacked by the Solo Sikoa-led Bloodline several weeks ago. However, Heyman's recent comments have sparked speculation that his return might be imminent.
During the Fanatics Fest event, The Wiseman addressed various topics related to The Bloodline and hinted at his impending return. He stated that he would only come back if he could contribute to Roman Reigns' battle against The Bloodline.
Here are three potential ways Paul Heyman could make his return to WWE programming.

#3. Paul Heyman brings backup
Roman Reigns is back on SmackDown and has made it clear that he's determined to regain his status as the one and only Tribal Chief of The Bloodline.
However, he can't accomplish this on his own. During the latest episode of SmackDown, Reigns found himself outnumbered as Jacob Fatu made a surprise return and took him down. To reclaim his Ula Fala, Reigns will need some backup.
Paul Heyman could return, bringing reinforcements in the form of Jimmy Uso, who has been absent for the past few months. Jimmy was also taken out of action by Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga, just like Heyman. It will be interesting to see when Jimmy makes his much-anticipated return.
#2. Suggest new Bloodline names to Roman Reigns
In Roman Reigns' absence, Solo Sikoa has taken control of The Bloodline and made significant changes, including adding new members like Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu. At some point, Reigns may need to recruit new members to regain his dominance. Who better to help him with this task than his Wiseman, Paul Heyman?
During the same interview mentioned earlier, Heyman hinted at potential debuts in the coming months. Two names that have been circulating as possible additions to The Bloodline on SmackDown are Hikuleo and Zilla Fatu. These potential recruits could bring fresh energy and strength to Reigns' quest to reclaim his status at the top.
#1. Play a ruse on WWE SmackDown
One thing that was clear during the latest episode of SmackDown is that Jacob Fatu is the game-changer. He’s already proven his prowess by taking out top babyfaces like Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, and now, Roman Reigns.
Paul Heyman, knowing that no one can match Jacob's physical dominance, might be crafting a master plan. Heyman could return and shock everyone by aligning himself with Solo Sikoa, only to begin his trademark mind games. He might create a situation that drives Jacob Fatu away from Solo and into an alliance with Roman instead.
There are many directions WWE can take this storyline, and it will be fascinating to see how things unfold moving forward.
