Paul Heyman recently took to Instagram to send a message ahead of his next appearance outside of WWE. The Wiseman is due to appear at Fanatics Fest on August 17, while he continues to be absent from the Stamford-based promotion.
Ever since Solo Sikoa and his Bloodline cohorts kicked Heyman out of the Bloodline after he refused to acknowledge Sikoa as his Tribal Chief, fans have been waiting for his return with bated breath. When Roman Reigns came out at SummerSlam 2024 after a nearly four-month sabbatical, many expected him to be accompanied by Paul Heyman on his side. However, that wasn’t the case.
While viewers continue to see him get back at Reigns’ side, he has kept himself busy outside of WWE. It was recently confirmed that The Wiseman would appear at the upcoming Fanatics Fest event on August 17th in New York, where he would appear on a live edition of Sam Roberts’ podcast, NotSam Wrestling.
Heyman recently took to his Instagram stories to react to the announcement and referred to himself as the “GOAT.”
“Dear Fanatics – The #GOAT appreciates your worship!” he wrote.

Matt Morgan thinks Paul Heyman could betray Roman Reigns upon returning
Contrary to popular belief that Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman would join hands to take on the new Bloodline, Matt Morgan believes there was a chance of The Wiseman aligning with Solo Sikoa again.
On the Gigantic Pop podcast, he former WWE star explained that it was hard to imagine Heyman working as a babyface manager to Reigns.
“I still think this is way in the distance, hopefully. I do think [Heyman] comes back and I do think he sides with Solo in them. Listen to me, I know they just pulverized him recently. I get that. That’s why it’s gonna take some time to get there. But he can’t be a babyface manager. Doesn’t work. Think about it, what a big betrayal to Roman!”
With The Original Tribal Chief expected to appear on SmackDown this week, it remains to be seen if brings back his Special Counsel during the show.
