Paul Heyman suffered a catastrophic fall from grace during a recent SmackDown episode. Right after Roman Reigns’ tragic beat down at WrestleMania 40 and his following hiatus, Solo Sikoa took the chair of the Bloodline and crafted a lot of radical changes. Tama Tonga was the first to join the new Bloodline troop. He assisted Sikoa in ousting Jimmy Uso straightaway on the debut night. The violence resurfaced a few weeks later when Jacob Fatu took the central role in dismantling Paul Heyman. With this, the era of OG Bloodline officially came to an end. Since that day, the WWE Universe has been awaiting revenge from both Heyman and Reigns’ sides. While the Big Dog has done his part quite valiantly, he still doesn’t have the Wise Man by his side.
If Heyman were there, the saga would undergo a brand new direction. Diving deeper into that fantasy booking, Jim Cornette saw a unique reunion.

Roman Reigns has to tackle his brother Solo Sikoa and the ferocious new Bloodline squad to take back control of his own creation While he already took out the former Right-Hand Man with a giant Superman punch and a spear, it was only the kickoff. There is much more to do to ward them off perpetually in the coming weeks. So, Reigns badly needs some allies by his side.
With Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso still not around, Heyman could play The Tribal Chief’s savior, as always, in this testing phase. In an awkward twist of events, Heyman could even tip Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns together in a team, making them a formidable threat to Sikoa and Fatu.
Cornette, 62, on the latest edition of his podcast, shed light on this idea, noting, ”If Heyman had showed up all you’ve still got another great return. If Roman can be put in a place of jeopardy, that not that Heyman can come in physically. You know, rescue him from but that Heyman can do a Wiseman thing. And put him maybe, the Wiseman thing is the Wiseman is the one that puts Roman and Cody finally together as a team against Solo and Jacob.”

Paul Heyman poised to seek revenge on his assaulters
Paul Heyman has never been friendly to Sikoa since he betrayed the Tribal Chief. In the early weeks, the Wise Man showcased facial signs of discontent with whatever was happening, but nobody paid heed to it. Sikoa clearly ignored him while recruiting Tama Tonga and launching the assault on Jimmy Uso. This tension finally took off when Reigns’ special counsel refused to acknowledge him as the new Tribal chief and put the mystical signature necklace of the Samoan chief on his neck. The 31-year-old promptly ordered his troops to bombard Heyman and the result was a vicious carnage.

The Wiseman left the building with a stretcher with a lot of unresolved anger and disgust. Now, with Reigns’ epic revenge at SummerSlam, the Wise Man could be all over the moon. Appreciating his client, Heyman wrote, ”o le tauimasui o so mea’ai e sili ona lelei ona sauia e le Tribal Chief.”, that simply means, ”Revenge is a dish best served by Tribal chief”
