Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, featuring Paul Heyman and Gigi Dolin.
• Paul Heyman made his return during a dramatic face-off between the original Bloodline and the new Bloodline in the ring on last night’s SmackDown. Heyman shocked the crowd by introducing CM Punk as the OG Bloodline’s 5th member for the WarGames match at Survivor Series 2024.
As the moment unfolded, Roman and Punk had the following exchange:
Punk: It’s not about me or you, it’s about him (pointed at Paul Heyman).
Reigns: He’s my wiseman.
Punk: We’ll see.
CM PUNK: ITS NOT ABOUT ME OR YOU, ITS ABOUT HIM.
ROMAN REIGNS: HES MY WISEMAN
CM PUNK: WE’LL SEE

Fans also noticed Heyman winking at Jimmy Uso, but much of the chatter centered on Heyman’s outfit — a black suit with a red undershirt and red handkerchief, which aligns with Solo Sikoa’s signature style.
Adding to the speculation, Roman was unable to reach Heyman last week due to his phone being out of service, and weeks earlier, Solo Sikoa had destroyed Heyman’s phone. This has led fans to wonder if Heyman and Solo have struck a deal for Heyman to align with the new Bloodline as their Wiseman.
If the story unfolds as some suspect, it could lead to a major twist, potentially at Survivor Series, with Heyman fully siding with Solo and the new Bloodline. Some speculate that as Roman Reigns shifts toward a babyface role, he may no longer need Heyman’s heel persona, making this development a natural progression in the storyline.

• Gigi Dolin made her in-ring return at last night’s WWE NXT Live Event in Lakeland, Florida.
Dolin had been out of action since March due to a knee injury, reportedly a torn ACL. Before her injury, she was involved in a feud with Arianna Grace on television.
In her comeback match, Dolin faced Cora Jade and secured the win.
