Paul Heyman made a surprise return on last Friday’s SmackDown and has been a big topic of discussion leading up to Survivor Series. Currently, he’s with Roman Reigns and The Bloodline, but there are rumors about him switching from Roman to CM Punk.
WWE has recently released new Heyman merchandise, which seems to hint at something unusual. Fans are curious about what this could mean for his future in WWE.
Last week, Paul Heyman introduced CM Punk as the fifth member of the OG Bloodline for Survivor Series. Shortly after, WWE released two T-shirts showcasing Heyman’s history with both Punk and Roman Reigns.
Interestingly, Punk’s shirt featured the phrase “The Wiseman” beneath Heyman’s image, which sparked speculation about Heyman potentially aligning himself with Punk once more. Shockingly, Roman’s t-shirt doesn’t have that phrase.
They put THE WISEMAN letters for Punk’s shirt but NOT ROMANS..

Fans also noted Heyman’s Solo Sikoa-inspired outfit during his return, fueling betrayal rumors. Roman Reigns used to have Heyman as a close friend, but his recent actions have made fans wonder how long he will stay loyal.
Paul Heyman Calls the Current WWE Roster the Best in Wrestling History
In an interview with CBS Sports, Paul Heyman praised WWE’s current roster, calling it the most skilled and diverse in wrestling history. With nearly 40 years in the business, Heyman has worked with legends like Brock Lesnar, John Cena, and Kurt Angle. His extensive experience across eras makes his observation even more significant.
Regarding GUNTHER, he stated, “I see Gunther, for whom English is a second language, master the language quickly. He understands how to lure in an audience and can now modulate his voice to control the emotion in the room.”

Mentioning Bron Breakker’s growth, he said, “Bron Breakker’s growth on a weekly basis is absolutely mind-boggling and awe-inspiring. Anyone around him is inspired to up their game because he’s so driven and ambitious.” Heyman also expressed admiration for Liv Morgan’s transformation over the past six months.
However, he also made some comments about him, saying, “I’ve survived in this industry long enough now that I’m the old guy. So I’m the old guy they ask to pass wisdom on.”
