Special Counsel or Advocate?

Which one are you @HeymanHustle?#SmackDown pic.twitter.com/TIBvyVL7Xi

Heyman says that he is not protecting Lesnar from Reigns.

He says that he's protecting Roman from Lesnar.

YES! It's finally revealed what his true motives are.

Heyman looks guilty as all hell.

Roman says that before Heyman says anything, he should be telling the truth. Why is Heyman protecting Lesnar from Reigns?

Did he know that Brock was going to return at SummerSlam? Did he know that Brock was going to be at Madison Square Garden? Did he know that Brock's suspension would be lifted?

Roman says he does not like it when his family loses. But they can get through anything because they are blood.

He then turns to Paul and says that Paul is not his blood. He then says that if he disrespects him, things don't go well for him. Roman turns to him and asks the simple question, can he trust Paul?

He says that Paul seems shady.
