WWE WrestleMania 41: 20 Things That Must Happen
5. Paul Heyman Accidentally Costs Roman Reigns
The Triple Threat between Roman Reigns, CM Punk and Seth Rollins is a tough one to call, but WWE likes it that way. They've particularly worked hard over the past fortnight or so to put more respect on Seth's name and stop him from seeming like such a third wheel. His "favour" chat with Paul Heyman and Shield nod on Raw recently has some predicting that Paul E is about to unite a new version of the faction sans Roman.
Hmm, yours truly isn't convinced. It'd be a stretch for Rollins and Punk to work together. Stranger things have happened, yes, but this one would be a swerve for the sake of it right now. However, there is merit in the idea that Heyman accidentally (or "accidentally" in the long term) costs Reigns the victory come time for Saturday night's headliner.
The 'OTC' can smell something fishy going on. On one hand, Paul professes his loyalty to Reigns, but his actions suggest he's more loyal to Punk. Plus, Heyman's words seem a little more forced than they were before. "Yes, my Tribal Chief" has sounded insincere for a while, so there could be a sting in the tail coming.
Personally, this guy would have Paul mess up and get a death stare from Roman for doing so. That way, the story can keep going without some dramatic backstab moment that's rushed. Keep dropping hints that Heyman and Punk are colluding behind Roman's back on TV, then take it from there.
There's no need to rush - WWE must know that after booking The Bloodline's story over a period of years.
