7 Ups & 2 Downs From WWE SmackDown (31 May - Results & Review)

3. Paul Heyman Snaps!

Paul Heyman has been wonderful since Solo Sikoa assumed control of Bloodline operations during Roman Reigns' absence. On Friday, Paul E again put over how dangerous Tonga Loa and Tama Tonga are, and tried to warn Kevin Owens off pursuing another fight with these bloodthirsty brutes.

KO wasn't playing ball, so Heyman eventually snapped and wondered aloud why nobody listens to him anymore. That revealed the truth behind his frustrations: Paul has lost control of The Bloodline and is utterly rudderless without Roman in front of him. That's another simple story, but a damn good one.

Bonus points go to Kev for never once buying Paul's pleading promo. Why should he after everything that's happened with The Bloodline? Heyman has been caught telling porkies countless times, and is a well-known master manipulator, so it'd be a bit silly if Owens was suddenly sympathetic.

It'd be unfair on everyone else to say Paul is carrying this Bloodline 2.0 thing, but he's a huge reason behind why it's working.
