Paul Heyman recreated a sequence from 2018 to hammer home a point ahead of The Bloodline Civil War match at Money In The Bank. The said bout will feature Roman Reigns and his partner Solo Sikoa against The Usos, who have revolted against The Tribal Chief after being tired of his taunts. Since attacking Reigns, the Anoa’i family members have traded blows several times, but this will be the first time they will go toe-to-toe in a match commissioned by the WWE.
But just before the match, Heyman delivered an emotional message during a backstage segment, where he gave out a massive spoiler, which The Usos fans won’t enjoy.

Heyman, who has been instrumental in Reigns’ rise to the top, has been with the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion since his return in 2020. Together, the duo has built Reigns’ dominating run from scratch. While they have mostly witnessed a sharp rise in the last three years, the past few weeks have been different.
Reigns, the head of The Bloodline, one of WWE’s most dominating faction, is on the verge of losing his place as his trusted aides-turned-enemies have declared war. Jimmy and Jey Uso have the credentials to match their revolt. While Reigns is amidst a record-breaking run as a champion, his cousins too set a record as the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champion, before dropping the belts at WrestleMania.
Now, an emotional Heyman has said that Reigns will not go soft on the dissenters. The 57-year-old said, “This ain’t gonna be PG. This is not gonna be fun to watch. I’m sorry you’re gonna have to witness this.”
Meanwhile, the emotion struck a chord with the fans, who praised the WWE legend online.

Meanwhile, this is not the first time Paul Heyman had the audience in the palm of his hand with his acting chops.
Heyman channelized his personal loss to leave WWE host surprised
Back in 2018, Paul Heyman did a backstage interview with former WWE employee Renee Paquette, amidst his fallout with Brock Lesnar. It was Lesnar who went incommunicado after costing Heyman his job by not showing up and snubbing Kurt Angle’s warning. Heyman sat with Paquette to address the situation.
Admittedly, Heyman went deep into his personal life and used the loss of his father to bring out the emotions. Paquette, who was unaware about the 57-year-old’s preparations, was genuinely shocked as the legendary manager looked at her with bloodshot eyes.
