7 Ups & 0 Downs From WWE SmackDown (15 Nov - Results & Review)
1. Paul Heyman Has Been Disconnected
The number you have called is disconnected. Sorry.
Roman Reigns, egged on by Jey Uso to "make the call", tried phoning his "Wise Man" Paul Heyman right at the tail end of SmackDown. Unfortunately for Reigns, Paul's number isn't in service any longer. Confused? Cast your minds back to earlier in the year when Solo Sikoa destroyed Heyman's phone to stop him from calling Roman. Little details like that are so, so important.
OK, so it's a bit far fetched to imagine that Reigns and Heyman haven't been talking at all since WrestleMania, but the story at hand is strong enough to offset little logic gaps like that. The most important takeaway is that Roman is spooked, he feels like the walls are closing in on him before marching into battle for WarGames, and that Solo just trumped him by recruiting a monster like Bronson Reed.
Time for Reigns to make another call. To the Ghostbusters! No, to Seth freakin' Rollins. That's where this is going, right? Sami Zayn asked Rollins if he'd be interested in becoming the OG Bloodline's fifth man on Monday, and Seth told Sami he must be out of his damn mind to even think that'd be possible. Oh, but it is possible. Rollins and Reigns already went through one of the most heartbreaking splits in WWE history, and now they're gonna get the band back together.
It's anyone's guess when Paul will show back up. Maybe he'll play a part at Survivor Series, or maybe WWE will sit on that for a while longer. It's amazing what can be achieved in just 60 seconds though. The loudest voice in this promo? That automated 'number has been disconnected' voice.
Roll on Raw for more of this.
