Paul Heyman requested to leave The Bloodline on SmackDown 06/21 during the opening promo of the night. Solo Sikoa was not aware of his wish until the words came out of The Wiseman’s mouth, even though the manager had probably planned the notion in advance. For the remaining show, we did not see Sikoa say a word to Heyman regarding his wish.

Now, the new Head of the Table has seemingly given his answer on his Instagram story. He re-shared the segment on social media and penned down the answer as a brief message for the world to read.

Does Paul Heyman get to keep his freedom?

The Wiseman has been with The Bloodline for a long time, serving beside his Tribal Chief. Now that Roman Reigns is on a hiatus, and according to Sikoa, not coming back at all, Heyman is having to serve under the new leader. The ruthlessness and Sikoa’s disregard for his perspective probably set off the councilman. So, when he got the chance, he asked CM Punk, “Take me with you,” in front of The Bloodline leader and the rest of the crowd in Chicago. WWE posted this particular clip on its Instagram page only for The Enforcer of The Bloodline to repost the same on his story and respond to Paul Heyman’s request by saying, “No“.

Heyman’s request to leave The Bloodline has been denied by Solo Sikoa. Although ‘quitting’ is a right that he can exercise freely, it doesn’t seem to apply in The Bloodline. So, the infamous manager may need more than just CM Punk to get out of the heel faction.

Who can Heyman rely upon in these trying times?

SmackDown 06/21 opened up with CM Punk enticing the crowd in Chicago. Paul Heyman soon hijacked the segment. But the environment remained wholesome as he confessed how “The Best in the World” is his best friend. One thing led to another and The Bloodline manager asked Punk to take him with himself. Although the former AEW star seemed up to the task, he probably did not want to risk anything before getting medically cleared to wrestle.

Several weeks ago, Fightful booked a potential storyline of how CM Punk and one more Paul Heyman guy could come to the rescue of The Wiseman from the clutches of The Bloodline. Although it is merely a fantasy booking, as the latter wrestler is not anymore in the promotion, things seem to be coming together and we may soon see the 58-year-old depart the stable. The manner in which he leaves the notorious faction could be a turning point in the storied faction’s history.
