WWE Extreme Rules 2021: 5 Reasons why Finn Balor was betrayed by the top rope

#1. Could Paul Heyman be the man behind the rope issues at Extreme Rules to prove himself to Reigns?

Finn Balor climbed to the top rope to deliver the Coup de Grace at Extreme Rules before the top rope collapsed and cost him the match.

One man who was at ringside and able to have played a part in this error is Paul Heyman. The spotlight has been on Roman Reigns' Special Counsel over the past few weeks after Brock Lesnar's return to the company caused a rift between the two.

Kayla Braxton interviewed Heyman ahead of Reigns' Extreme Rules match and talked about overlooking The Demon. Could this have been Heyman's realization that Reigns could lose his Universal Championship so he had to act in some way?

Could this also be Heyman's way of showing that he's loyal to The Tribal Chief despite recent rumors suggesting otherwise? Of all the stars who were at ringside when the ropes collapsed, Heyman should be seen as the most obvious candidate.
