4 signs Paul Heyman will betray Roman Reigns following his WWE SmackDown return

The return of Paul Heyman on the recent episode of WWE SmackDown has left fans buzzing ever since. The Wiseman didn’t return alone as he brought CM Punk with him as the fifth member of The OG Bloodline. The show concluded with a tense stare-down between Roman Reigns and Punk, while Heyman stood on the apron.

While The Wiseman's return ended the search for The OG Bloodline’s fifth member, there are still four key signs suggesting that Heyman might betray Reigns following SmackDown.

#4. Paul Heyman and CM Punk might not be a one-time reunion

The Wiseman returned and introduced The Best in the World, as the newest member of The OG Bloodline. During the segment, CM Punk clarified to Roman Reigns that this alliance wasn’t about Reigns, it was solely about Paul Heyman.

This suggests that Heyman and Punk might have already reunited, and their alliance may not be a one-time occurrence. It’s possible that following Survivor Series: WarGames 2024, The Wiseman might align himself with Punk again.

If Roman Reigns tries to resist or goes against the Hall of Famer’s plans, Heyman could betray Reigns and fully side with The Second City Saint.

#3. Heyman's number was out of service last week

The Original Tribal Chief attempted to call Paul Heyman on last week’s SmackDown, but the call didn’t connect as Heyman’s number was out of service. This has made Heyman’s return on this week’s edition of the blue brand highly suspicious.

It’s possible that the Wiseman is only pretending to be aligned with Roman Reigns but is planning to betray him at the right moment. Many fans believe that Heyman could secretly be in cahoots with Solo Sikoa, waiting for the perfect opportunity to turn against The OTC.

#2. The Wiseman has a history of turning on his clients

Roman Reigns isn’t the first person Paul Heyman has accompanied as a Wiseman or manager. Previously, the Special Counsel has worked with major names such as Brock Lesnar, CM Punk, and more.

However, Heyman has a history of betraying his clients, proving that he is not someone who can be trusted easily. This track record makes it a realistic possibility that The Wiseman could eventually turn on The Original Tribal Chief as well, leading to a dramatic betrayal down the line.

#1. Paul Heyman's mysterious wink to Jimmy Uso

Another moment that has raised suspicions about Paul Heyman and could hint at his potential betrayal of Roman Reigns is a subtle wink fans noticed during the recent SmackDown. This occurred when Roman and Punk were face-to-face in the ring.

Eagle-eyed fans spotted Heyman winking at Jimmy Uso, sparking speculation about his true intentions. This wink could suggest that Jimmy was the one who called Heyman to bring CM Punk into the fold.

Alternatively, it might hint at a secret plan that Roman is unaware of, further fueling suspicions that the Hall of Famer may soon turn on The Original Tribal Chief.
