Paul Heyman has been a key figure in the Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar feud for some time now as at one point it seemed that Heyman was being forced to choose between his two clients. Ultimately Heyman decided his alliance with The Tribal Chief was more important than his on screen relationship with Brock Lesnar, but his decision led to some brutal consequences for The Beast’s former advocate.
Last month at SummerSlam, Roman Reigns defended the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Brock Lesnar in the main event, and the match featured interference from Paul Heyman, The Usos and Theory. Lesnar decided to get revenge on Heyman when he hit him with the F5 and Heyman hasn’t been seen since.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Paul Heyman is being kept off TV to sell the injuries from the F5 for an extended period of time because WWE wants the spot to mean something.
It’s likely that Paul Heyman’s return to TV will be a surprise, but it’s not known right now when he’ll be back. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
