Paul Heyman discusses his looming return to WWE television.
Paul Heyman has been absent since The Bloodline attacked him on the June 28 episode of WWE SmackDown. Since Roman Reigns returned at WWE SummerSlam, many fans have been looking forward to seeing Heyman come back as well.
Paul Heyman spoke with Sam Roberts at Fanatics Fest NYC, and he was asked about when he could return. (H/t Jeremy Lambert of Fightful for the transcription)
“What I don’t want to do is just be on television for the sake of being on television,” Heyman said. “Everything we do has to be relevant. That’s the whole theory behind the island of relevancy. If I were to come back at SummerSlam with Roman Reigns, it wouldn’t have meant anything. There was nothing for me to contribute to that moment. If I had come back last week on television with Roman Reigns, there is nothing for me to do. I could have introduced him, okay, but that’s a moment and it’s not a moment that extends. It goes back to saying ‘winning and losing matters.’ ‘By orders of the Tribal Chief.’ When I come back on television.
“If I come back on television. When I do, that moment is going to set up a year’s worth of storyline. I will come back when it is relevant for me to come back. When I’m needed to come back. When I can add to Roman Reigns and not just ride his coattails and hang off of his glory. I love Jimmy Hart, I really do, I have so much respect for Jimmy Hart. But I don’t want to be Jimmy Hart carrying the boas for Hulk Hogan. I want to do something that contributes so much to the act that you sit there and say, ‘I love Roman Reigns, but my God I love him so much with the Wiseman Paul Heyman.”
Paul Heyman’s Tease
Paul Heyman went on to drop a tease for his return. He told everyone to stay tuned, as fans had not seen anything yet.
“If you really want to know if I’m coming back and when I’m coming back, stay tuned bitches, you ain’t seen nothing yet,” Paul Heyman said.
As of this writing, there is no word on when Paul Heyman will return to WWE television. WrestleZone will provide more information as it becomes available.
