Prior to his vacation, he successfully defended his title against Sami Zayn, albeit with unexpected help from Brock Lesnar. This week, Reigns is expected to address the surprising events that transpired on the show last Friday.In The Tribal Chief’s absence, Zayn took center stage and declared himself as the strongest champion in the promotion. He was interrupted by Paul Heyman, who questioned the credibility of his claims before the latter decided to threaten the Wiseman.Sami Zayn even asked who would save Heyman, which led to The Beast Incarnate making a show-stealing entrance on WWE SmackDown.WWE@WWEAre @BrockLesnar & @HeymanHustle in cahoots?@SamiZayn thinks so!🎥 @WWETheBump9:12 AM · Dec 15, 20211390159Are @BrockLesnar & @HeymanHustle in cahoots?@SamiZayn thinks so!🎥 @WWETheBump https://t.co/DfkeV5UmS5Lesnar then had a hearty conversation with Zayn as the two planned a potential day out for the Canadian brothers who could go fishing. This prompted Heyman to unexpectedly rile up his former client in a bid to remind him how quickly he could switch from Brock Lesnar to The Beast Incarnate in the past.Paul Heyman’s words immediately impacted Brock Lesnar, who reacted by absolutely destroying Sami Zayn and the male nurses accompanying him and his wheelchair on WWE SmackDown.Later on the show, Lesnar refused to comment on his actions and said that his “advocate” Heyman would be the person for the job. The latter denied any association with Brock Lesnar, but he won’t get off that easily when Roman Reigns returns on the blue brand.The Universal Champion has had doubts over Paul Heyman’s loyalty, and after last week, he has more reason to question one of the most trusted members of his entourage.Paul Heyman@HeymanHustleI do not ADVOCATE Brock's position regarding Adam Pearce, but I sure do like the concept of PEARCE as a hunting trophy. #JustSaying3:29 AM · Dec 17, 20211203115I do not ADVOCATE Brock's position regarding Adam Pearce, but I sure do like the concept of PEARCE as a hunting trophy. #JustSaying https://t.co/UoVux1dstRHeyman has been one of the most significant focal points of the title feud on WWE SmackDown.
