Paul Heyman won’t be back on WWE’s Talking Smack.
According to a report from this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Paul Heyman is no longer part of the panel for WWE’s Talking Smack post-show. Pat McAfee and Kayla Braxton hosted this week’s show, and it was explained that Heyman being pulled was a permanent change and “not a one week thing.”
It was also stated that there’s no real reason for Heyman’s removal besides it being a company decision. Talking Smack was revived as a weekly show in August of last year, with Heyman joining the show in November 2020.
