Is Paul Heyman still Roman Reigns‘ ‘Wiseman’? A WWE Hall of Famer does not think so.
Since Roman Reigns’ heel turn in 2020, Paul Heyman has maintained his role as The Tribal Chief’s Wiseman. Through thick and thin, the two maintained their bond even during Reigns’ intense rivalry against Brock Lesnar.
However, after Reigns went on a hiatus after WrestleMania 40, Heyman maintained his position as Solo Sikoa’s Wiseman before being taken out in an attack by Sikoa’s Bloodline. However, on the November 22nd episode of SmackDown, Heyman shocked the world when he returned to Reigns’ aid and brought alongside CM Punk as his fifth member for the upcoming WarGames match.
Heyman’s reunion with Punk has raised eyebrows all over the internet, and Hall of Famer Bubba Ray Dudley is also unsure about Heyman’s current allegiance. Speaking on the Busted Open Radio, Dudley theorized that Heyman could have returned to his former client.
It seems very much right now that Paul Heyman and CM Punk are more on the same page than Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns. It seems as if Paul has once again done his flip-flop. Roman lost, Roman’s no longer the champion. Maybe in Paul’s eyes, ‘Roman just ain’t got it anymore, can’t even control his own family, I’m going back to the guy [Punk] that I was with from day one. I’m going back to OG. You might be the OG Bloodline, but this is OG Paul Heyman guy.”
As Reigns and Heyman’s relationship remains cloudy, the former champion in a latest interview called out Heyman’s recent behavior.
Roman Reigns Calls Out Paul Heyman After His Recent WWE Return
The Tribal Chief and his Wiseman have finally reunited. However, the bond does not seem as strong as it used to be. Heyman recently returned with his former client CM Punk by his side after not answering Reigns’ calls, and it has raised questions.
In an interview with Jimmy Traina of Sports Illustrated, Roman Reigns called out Paul Heyman’s “shady” behavior.
Paul’s [Heyman] been incredibly shady if you ask me. People ask… I’ve seen some of the speculation of, ‘Well you know, you didn’t answer his phone calls,’ and all this and that, but at the end of the day when I take my leave, there’s no question of what I’m doing.”
