This past week on SmackDown, the WWE Universe witnessed a backstage segment that piqued the interest of the fans. Paul Heyman, a figure known for his ever-shifting allegiances, found himself in a candid conversation with LA Knight. Heyman’s journey reads like a rollercoaster of twists and turns.

Heyman’s journey through WWE has seen him manage legendary names like Brock Lesnar, CM Punk, and most recently, Roman Reigns. He’s never been one to shy away from a shocking betrayal or an unexpected reunion. He’s been quite the flip-flopper, first betraying Lesnar to join forces with Big Show, then years later ditching Punk to return to Lesnar, and eventually, in Lesnar’s absence, finding a new home alongside Reigns.

With his recent display of admiration for LA Knight, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that Knight could be the key to Heyman’s next big move.

While Heyman has been a steadfast advisor to Roman Reigns as the “Tribal Chief” in recent years, he’s also teased the idea of a potential betrayal against the dominant champion. Could Heyman’s newfound fondness for LA Knight be a hint at a changing of the guard in the WWE landscape?

For those speculating about Roman Reigns’ rumored face turn, Heyman’s possible alignment with LA Knight could be the catalyst for this long-anticipated shift in the wrestling world.

In the world of professional wrestling, change is the only constant. Veteran wrestling guru Jim Cornette has long been a proponent of the idea. The idea is that Roman Reigns will eventually make a transition from heel to babyface before the conclusion of his current WWE journey. Roman Reigns initially burst onto the scene as a heel alongside The Shield. He was then placed as WWE’s biggest face after his break out from the group following Seth Rollins’ betrayal. But his heel turn in 2020 completely changed the game.

Since then, as the undisputed WWE Universal Champion, Reigns has enjoyed a historic reign filled with accolades. It also includes one of the longest world title reigns in wrestling history, spanning over 1,000 days.

While Reigns has excelled as a heel, the wrestling world has been buzzing with anticipation of his eventual return to the side of the heroes. Jim Cornette, speaking on his Drive Thru podcast, confidently expressed his belief that Reigns’ transition to a babyface persona is not a question of if but when.
