Paul Heyman, the esteemed figure in pro wrestling, graced the WWE Fastlane PPV with his presence, standing ringside as The Bloodline battled John Cena and LA Knight. Heyman, with his character’s mounting stress from within The Bloodline, found innovative ways to tell the story. This time, he used his cell phone, speaking directly to Roman Reigns via speakerphone to detail and describe The Bloodline’s performance in the match.

In his sixth decade in the wrestling world, Heyman’s storytelling prowess continues to shine. The Peacock subscription debate stirred by Rhea Ripley’s taunt might appear trivial, given that Reigns likely has his own subscription. Furthermore, Ripley had posted on X, “Does @WWERomanReigns not have a @peacock account? @TKOGrp can you hook the “Tribal Chief” up?” Rhea Ripley shared.”

Still, as the Tribal Chief’s Special Counsel, Heyman’s commentary enhanced the viewer experience. It provides an insight into what was unfolding. 

In an interview with Sports Illustrated Paul replied, “My description of the action carries a heightened credibility over and above anything that Pat McAfee, Michael Cole, and Corey Graves could ever offer my Tribal Chief.” I am blessed by the appreciation bestowed upon me by my Tribal Chief,” Heyman expressed. He responds to Rhea Ripley’s remark about Reigns lacking a Peacock subscription.

Heyman’s narrative, even while The Tribal Chief is in action, carries a unique credibility that has earned the admiration of the WWE Universe.

Paul Heyman, the enigmatic “Wiseman” behind WWE’s Bloodline stable, shared insights into the prospect of John Cena ever joining the dominant faction during an interview with Sports Illustrated. Heyman revealed why Cena’s inclusion in the group remains a highly improbable scenario. It was primarily due to the former WWE Champion’s unwavering desire to be the “number one” wrestler.

Heyman explained, “John Cena is deeply rooted in his convictions, making it unlikely that he would compromise his principles to become a full-fledged member of The Bloodline. Moreover, Cena is a shrewd self-promoter who values his position. In The Bloodline, he would find himself not only behind Roman Reigns but potentially trailing Solo, Jimmy Uso, and even myself.”

Furthermore, Heyman emphasized Cena’s path to number one, alongside Reigns and the other stablemates in a discussion. It would be through fierce competition rather than alliance. Following the SAG-AFTRA strike, WWE witnessed Cena’s return, marked by an intense rivalry with The Bloodline.
