Even though Paul Heyman was still beside ‘The Beast’ Brock Lesnar and Reigns was standing alone in the ring, there were plenty of things from last night that indicated that Heyman is still true to his Tribal Chief and will double-cross ‘The Beast’ whenever he gets the chance.

During the segment, Lesnar himself admitted that Paul Heyman was always loyal to ‘The Tribal Chief’ Roman Reigns. Yes, he didn’t know that Brock would come back at the SummerSlam PPV.
Lesnar further admitted that he planted the seeds of doubt in Roman’s mind so that the Universal champion would cut ties with his special counsel.
Now, Paul Heyman is not a wrestler but the mind games he plays inside the squared circle are really scary. With all the takeaways from last night’s SmackDown, it feels like Roman Reigns and Heyman are working together and they are playing with Lesnar.

At the end of the segment, Heyman “tried” to protect Lesnar in such a way from Roman, which eventually lead to Lesnar getting hit by the Tribal Chief. Hence, there’s a strong notion that Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman are working together against ‘The Beast Incarnate’.
