Though Paul Heyman is now considered the GOAT manager in the industry, there’s no doubt he’s also one of the most cunning figures in WWE. He has already betrayed not one, but two former allies—CM Punk and Brock Lesnar—and now, it’s clear that the next countdown is on for Roman Reigns.
In the past 12 years, Paul Heyman has already turned against two of his friends. Back in 2013, he turned on his best friend, CM Punk, who he is now trying to give favor in the current storyline.
Then, in 2022, Heyman gave Roman Reigns the WWE Championship to help take down his client, Brock Lesnar. That’s the initial point when we saw Roman rise to his Tribal Chief character.

And the third one seems like it’s about to happen soon. Just last week on Friday Night SmackDown, Heyman said “no” to Roman when CM Punk asked him to be in his corner at WrestleMania 41.
However, on this week’s Raw, Heyman clarified that he wouldn’t betray either Punk or Roman—but given his past, it’s hard to trust him. Also on Raw, Seth Rollins ended their segment by saying that Heyman now owes him a favor.
Who knows? Maybe Heyman will turn on both Punk and Roman and side with Seth Rollins at “The Show of Shows.”
Even wrestling fans believe Paul Heyman is lying again
Fans are on the edge of their seats as the Triple Threat storyline between Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins gets more intense every day.
Heyman, as always, is right in the middle of the chaos—watching everything closely and keeping everyone guessing. Now that Seth Rollins has revealed he’s owed a favor by “The Wiseman,” many fans believe Paul is hiding something big and isn’t being completely honest about his loyalty.
“I will always be loyal to my Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns. I will always be loyal to my best friend in the world, CM Punk.”

“Just because I’m loyal to both of them doesn’t mean I’m disloyal to either of them.”
NAAH PAUL HEYMAN IS LYING 😭#RAWonNetflix

Is Paul truly loyal to Roman Reigns? Or is he secretly cooking up something big behind the scenes? These are now every fan’s questions.
This is more of a “you will help me take both of these guys down” favor rather than Heyman being his advocate. Rollins wants to end both punk and roman, really like this direction https://t.co/BOUewtg1AC

Lmao wow people are really mad at the favor? Like what did you think it would be?! It was very obvious. Heyman is a manager not a booker. Punk was never getting into any of the world title matches lol

That's it they gotta hang Paul Heyman on a fucking pole at this point cause seemingly all three of these dudes are claiming custody of Mr. Heyman, I remember seeing theories that Paul Heyman will betray both Punk and Roman and side with Rollins THAT MIGHT HAPPEN NOW! https://t.co/ONCtJF1Qs4 pic.twitter.com/JWw8QvnmkK
