Paul Heyman was recently written off WWE SmackDown in Roman Reigns’ absence. The two close allies were recently spotted together for the first time since WrestleMania XL.
Reigns’ father Sika peacefully passed away last week. The Tribal Chief was recently spotted with a few big names at his family at his father’s memorial service
Last week, Reigns’ father Sika passed away at the age of 79. A memorial service was held in his honor earlier this week, where Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman, Rikishi, and The Rock’s mother Ata Johson were spotted among other members of the Anoai family.
A young member of the Anoai family shared multiple photographs of the family at the service. He accompanied it with a touching message about his family:
“Uncle Pola’s service was a heartfelt gathering. Several of us had the opportunity to share our thoughts and memories, expressing our feelings and honoring his memory. Afterward, we came together as a family to spend some time together, reflecting and supporting one another.”
Check out the photos in the Instagram post below (Paul Heyman can be seen in the last image):
It is the first time Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns have been photographed together since WrestleMania XL, where The Tribal Chief lost his Undisputed WWE Championship. It is also the first time Paul Heyman has been seen since receiving a beatdown of a lifetime at the hands of Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline.

Following Roman Reigns’ hiatus from the ring, Solo Sikoa decided to take control of The Bloodline himself. He seems to have lied to Paul Heyman about being made in charge of the group by The Tribal Chief.
Last week, Sikoa beat down Heyman after the latter refused to acknowledge him. The latest edition of SmackDown saw Solo Sikoa send a direct message to Reigns.
WWE is planting the seeds for The Head of The Table’s return. The attack on The Wiseman has already given Reigns enough reason to make a return. Sikoa’s latest message would have added fuel to the fire to give him all the more reason to return.
The former Undisputed WWE Champion could come back to assemble the original members of The Bloodline and find some more help from elsewhere to take down Sikoa and his new group. Fans could see The Usos and Sami Zayn work with Roman Reigns again shortly.
