It was June of this year when Paul Heyman was last seen on WWE television being brutalized by the current version of The Bloodline in an attack sanctioned by Solo Sikoa. The tribal chief wanted Roman Reigns to lose his last remaining time in charge of the group, and fans were wondering when he would return.

People expected Heyman to show up from the moment Reigns showed up, but the original tribal chief has since returned WWE SummerSlam, and Heyman was nowhere to be seen. Reigns recently attempted to contact the WWE Hall of Famer but discovered he has a new phone number, raising many questions about what he might do next. WWE is slowly teasing this, but given that every detail of this storyline has been planned, there will likely be an important reason for his absence and subsequent return.
He will eventually return as Roman Reigns' special agent
Things can just go back to normal
- This would bring the bloodline back together
- Fans want to see Heyman alongside Reigns again
- It would put Heyman in an unusual babyface role
The most obvious and straightforward way WWE could bring Paul Heyman back would be for him to stroll back into WWE and stand alongside Roman Reigns like nothing ever happened. He could return to special counsel and an integral figure in Reigns' career, a formula that has worked well before.

The Usos and Sami Zayn got back in line relatively easily and without much fanfare. Therefore, it would make sense for Heyman to do the same and accept this new version of Reigns the story that is being told.
Paul Heyman will betray Reigns and side with Solo Sikoa
Heyman has a long history of annoying his customers
- Heyman has already betrayed the likes of Brock Lesnar and CM Punk
- Solo Sikoa would benefit from Heyman's promotional skills
- He could pass on insider knowledge to help Sikoa's team win WarGames
Even if technically Roman Reigns isn't a “Paul Heyman type” Seeing him turn his back on Reigns would be a big deal. However, this could happen if WWE wants to distract the audience and do something else while Heyman moves forward.
He could betray Reigns and side with Sikoa and the new group, as Heyman always aligns himself with the most powerful forces possible. His argument could be simple in that Reigns never came back to help him, and so he eventually decided to broker things with Sikoa, which could lead to the New Bloodline starting to dominate Reigns' group due to insider knowledge.
Heyman could save the day at WarGames with an old friend
He could put CM Punk under his spell
- CM Punk and Paul Heyman have a long history in WWE
- Since Punk's return, they have been shown on camera together
- Punk would be a big name to add WWE Survivor Series
Roman Reigns is currently looking for a fifth man to join his team at WarGames, and he's quickly running out of options. Years of domination and betrayal have meant that no babyface would want to put himself in danger for him, which makes sense in the plot. However, his loyal sage might end up bailing him out by making a surprise return WWE Survivor Series next to a familiar face.

CM Punk has been off TV for a while and is expected back relatively soon; so have his old friend Heyman Bringing him in for a one-off match with The Bloodline could be a big deal. It would show that Heyman has been working behind the scenes for his tribal chief while also creating a few big surprises for the upcoming Premium Live event.
Paul Heyman could be secretly working for the final boss
The rock still lurks in the shadows
- The skirt appeared at WWE's Bad Blood to tease future appearances
- The Rock could turn against Reigns if he teams up with Cody Rhodes
- Heyman's betrayal of Reigns could lead to a Head of the Table story
Arguably the biggest twist WWE could pull off with Heyman's eventual return would be to have him work alongside The Rock. Heyman has been in the business for a long time and there are family contacts that could be leveraged. Plus, the idea of The Rock literally being his boss could be a factor from a plot perspective.

The Rock is clearly not done in WWE yetand there is more to tell about his character. However, having Heyman alongside him could make a difference as he could be there to continue the role each week when The Rock is away. It would also be a huge betrayal to Reigns and would add even more intensity to the eventual fight between Reigns and Rock.
