Paul Heyman’s presence with WWE Superstar’s family fuels return speculations

Paul Heyman was recently spotted seemingly at the memorial service of Roman Reigns’ father Sika Anoa’i. Rikishi, father of Solo Sikoa and cousin of Roman Reigns, took to Instagram to post a picture with Paul Heyman with the caption WiseMEN. Paul Heyman has been absent from WWE since The Bloodline kicked him out for refusing to acknowledge Solo Sikoa as the new tribal chief.However, Rikishi’s post hints at Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns’ return to WWE.

Since his defeat against Cody Rhodes on the Night 2 of Wrestlemania XL, Roman Reigns' disappearance from WWE has taken a toll on The Bloodline. While the former Bloodline leader is taking a break, Solo Sikoa has taken control of the Bloodline to restore the honor of their faction. Sikoa then proceeded to exile Jimmy Uso and induct Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu into the faction. On top of this Sikoa also attacked Paul Heyman on June 28 SmackDown for not accepting him as the Tribal Chief, leading to his absence from WWE as of late.
The passing of Sika Anoa’i, the family gathers at the Memorial

Amidst all this drama, Roman Reigns and the entire wrestling world were hit with the unfortunate news of the passing of his father Sika Anoa’i. The WWE Hall of Famer passed away at age 79. Jahrus Anoa’i recently posted some pictures on Instagram from the memorial that featured Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns. On top of that, Reno Anoa’i also shared pictures of his father, uncle, and Roman Reigns and said the following:
"Three brothers. The chiefs of our Anoa'i family. My dad Le'apai Ryan, my uncle Folau & their little brother Anoa'i Sika Joe. This is the bloodline these are our family chiefs.”
With this, speculations are afloat pointing toward a possible comeback of Roman Reigns alongside Paul Heyman and Jey Uso to take back the Bloodline from Solo Sikoa. In contrast to this possible outcome, there is also another speculation about Rikishi, father of Solo Sikoa, returning to WWE to aid the Bloodline story in favor of Sikoa. He could play the role of the group’s new Wiseman. On his Rikishi Fatu Off The Top podcast, he addressed this possibility and said the following:
“People ask would I be interested (in returning to WWE). Yeah, I guess. It makes sense. Is the scheduling gonna be, cause I don’t wanna hit the road, and that would probably be the only reason why I would probably decline. There’s so much to my life now than professional wrestling. My time is my time now, the second part of my life is to spend time to visit my kids, my grandkids, and it’s nice when I show up to the boys’ homes.”
The Bloodline story is evolving rather interestingly and only time will tell when and if Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns return to WWE to tackle Sikoa’s iteration of the Bloodline.
