Ever since Roman Reigns lost the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL, a noticeable absence of The Tribal Chief on television has been observed. In his place, Solo Sikoa has stepped up within The Bloodline, making significant changes to the faction. Notably, Sikoa ousted his brother Jimmy Uso and introduced two new members, Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa, to the stable. These actions have been taken without the approval of Paul Heyman, leading to speculation that Heyman might face expulsion from the group in the near future.
Veteran wrestler Bin Hamin recently voiced his apprehensions about Paul Heyman’s position within The Bloodline on Vince Russo’s The Brand podcast. Hamin expressed concerns about Heyman’s well-being, suggesting that Solo Sikoa’s faction harbors animosity towards Heyman, noting this as an opportune moment for WWE to grant the Hall of Famer a break. Hamin went further to propose a storyline where Heyman is removed from the group, allowing him time for necessary health procedures before making a dramatic return alongside CM Punk, envisioning a staggering transformation for Heyman post-surgery.
In the same podcast, former WWE Superstar Stevie Richards added to the discourse by recommending that WWE consider sending Heyman to a weight loss rehabilitation program akin to the one Yokozuna underwent at Duke University. Richards highlighted the importance of constructive criticism, emphasizing the visibility Heyman has on TV and the scrutiny that comes with it, advocating for a proactive approach to address Heyman’s weight concerns.
The future of Paul Heyman within the WWE terrain remains uncertain, with various voices within the wrestling community speculating on potential storylines and developments.
