WWE fans believe Paul Heyman is up to no good after his return to SmackDown.
-
Heyman was caught winking at Jimmy Uso while Roman Reigns had his back turned.

The teams for the men's WarGames match are now complete after the Roman Reigns-led Bloodline's search for their fifth man on SmackDown took an unexpected turn. It turns out that Seth Rollins was serious when he said he would never work with Reigns again, and even with Bronson Reed on the other side, The Architect won't be part of WarGames next week. Instead, fifth place for Team Reigns was filled by CM Punk.

Fans watch as Paul Heyman winks at Jimmy Uso
Reigns has his wise man Paul Heyman I want to thank him for bringing Punk on board. Long before Heyman worked with Reigns, the longtime pro wrestling manager was Punk's right-hand man. The original Paul Heyman Guy, as Punk put it on SmackDown, although I think he's forgetting someone who no longer seems welcome in the WWE.

While Punk is the odd man out in this situation since he was never part of The Bloodline, fans noticed a small detail that suggests someone else is a potential problem for Reigns at Survivor Series. While Reigns is busy assessing Punk, Heyman turns to Jimmy Uso and winks at him before turning back around and staring at a hole in Reigns' back as he turns to the camera and raises his finger in the air .
Heyman's foreshadowing on SmackDown goes beyond a wink
However, upon closer inspection, there is more to it. First of all, Jimmy stands a little apart from the rest of the group as Heyman winks at him. Not only is this a way to make sure fans know who the wink is aimed at, but also to separate him from the rest of the team without having to place him too far away. Heyman's performance is also notable. He looks better than he has in a long time, even though he has been separated from his supposed tribal chief for almost eight months.
Heyman did a great job of appearing bad, almost uncomfortable, whenever something went wrong on The Bloodline. Someone held him back from the brink while he was away, and while that person may have been a punk, the latest evidence of what Heyman wore on SmackDown suggests that he is now Solo Sikoas Weiser. Heyman doesn't normally wear red and black, but that was the color scheme he chose Friday night, the same colors Sikoa wears.
Almost everyone else and fans wouldn't think anything of it, especially not the wink. However, nothing Heyman does happens by chance. This wasn't a wink between friends that we weren't supposed to see. Heyman knew the camera was pointed directly at him, and that wink was part of a story that continues to be told at Survivor Series.
