Paul Heyman to make WWE SmackDown return for huge announcement? Exploring potential move

WWE has a major match scheduled for the Bad Blood Premium Live Event. Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes will do the unthinkable and team up. The unlikely duo will take on Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu of The Bloodline.

While the match itself is a big deal, many hope or even expect Paul Heyman to return to WWE television in time to be in Roman's corner for the show. In what could be a stunning announcement, Heyman could return on an upcoming episode of SmackDown by sending in a video, revealing that he will not be in Reigns' corner.

This, of course, wouldn't be because The Wiseman is betraying Roman or moving on from The Tribal Chief. Instead, Paul Heyman could reveal that he's making the decision because he fears for his safety when it comes to being around Solo Sikoa and The Bloodline.

The reason why Paul Heyman has been absent from WWE television is Solo Sikoa's version of The Bloodline. Solo, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa shockingly assaulted Heyman while Roman was away and even put the Hall of Famer through a table.

Given Paul's age and the fact that he isn't a competitor, he likely fears being anywhere near those four dangerous men. As a result, him announcing he won't be by Roman's side at Bad Blood would make a lot of sense.

Paul Heyman could help Roman Reigns at WWE Bad Blood without appearing

Paul Heyman is a wrestling genius. Be it as a promoter, commentator, or manager, The Wiseman always manages to excel thanks to his intelligence. That intelligence could come into play at the Bad Blood Premium Live Event.

The truth is, Heyman doesn't need to be in Atlanta, Georgia to help Roman Reigns. Instead, The Wiseman can arrange help for both The Tribal Chief and The American Nightmare in form of another absent star: Jimmy Uso.

Jimmy was brutally assaulted by Solo Sikoa and the-then debuting Tama Tonga on the SmackDown after WWE WrestleMania 40. Fans expected him back to get revenge, but as of now, Uso is yet to appear. That could change at Bad Blood, however.

Jimmy Uso could show up to fight off Tama Tonga & Tonga Loa and prevent them from interfering. If the moment is right, Jimmy could also nail Solo Sikoa with a Superkick behind the referee's back. Heyman could have this all plotted out, meaning he helps Roman even without risking his well-being by appearing in person.
