On the latest episode of WWE SmackDown, Paul Heyman suffered a brutal beatdown at the hands of the new-look Bloodline. This incident occurred during the Bloodline Acknowledgment Ceremony when The Wise-Man refused to acknowledge Solo Sikoa as The Tribal Chief.

The conclusion of SmackDown surprised many fans, as no one showed up to rescue The Special Counsel from Solo Sikoa’s faction. Many fans were hoping for the comeback of Jimmy Uso to rescue Heyman from this disaster.

In this article, we will discuss three potential reasons why no one saved Paul Heyman from The Bloodline’s vicious attack on tonight’s edition of the blue brand.

#3. To generate more heat for Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline

One major potential reason why no one rescued The Wise-Man from this vicious beatdown could be that it will help the new version of the Bloodline generate more heat from the WWE Universe. This was evident when Heyman refused to acknowledge Solo Sikoa as The Tribal Chief, generating a massive pop from the fans in the MSG crowd.

Furthermore, when the new Bloodline triple powerbombed the Hall of Famer onto the announcer’s table, negative chants for the faction echoed through the arena. This shows how the tensions between The Special Counsel and Solo’s Bloodline are effectively helping Solo Sikoa and his group generate more heat with the WWE Universe.

If someone had arrived to rescue Paul Heyman from the attack, it might not have created as much heat for the faction.

#2. To write Paul Heyman off from television

Ever since Roman Reigns went on a hiatus, Paul Heyman never seemed to be fully aligned with Solo Sikoa’s faction. He was always seen tense, trying to prevent them from taking any wrong steps, especially in the absence of The Tribal Chief. With no one rescuing The Special Counsel tonight, it’s conceivable that the Stamford-based promotion might want to write Heyman off television for a brief while.

This angle could be a strategic way to write him off; if someone had rescued him, WWE would still need to address the implications of Heyman’s refusal to acknowledge Solo Sikoa as The Tribal Chief.

#1. To setup a high-profile Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa feud

Roman Reigns’ return is highly anticipated by the WWE Universe, and the lack of rescuers for Paul Heyman appears to be planting seeds for a feud between Reigns and Solo Sikoa down the line.

Additionally, this hints that Roman is the only one who can save Heyman from Solo Sikoa’s version of The Bloodline. When Reigns returns to WWE, he will undoubtedly confront Sikoa for his actions against Heyman. This angle will eventually set up a high-profile feud between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa, promising intense drama and excitement for the fans
