An update provided during tonight’s episode of Raw in Paris has confirmed that Paul Heyman is currently recovering in a hospital. The announcement was made by Bron Breakker, who said Heyman was hospitalized following the attack he sustained from Roman Reigns at Clash in Paris.
The incident occurred after the opening match of the premium live event, where Reigns defeated Breakker’s Vision stablemate, Bronson Reed. After the victory, Reigns confronted his former manager, who had betrayed him at WrestleMania 41 to align with Seth Rollins. Reigns locked Heyman in a guillotine chokehold in the middle of the ring, finally getting his retribution.
Reigns’s own celebration was short-lived, as he was immediately attacked by both Breakker and Reed. The two men delivered a series of Spears and Tsunami splashes, an assault so severe that it ended with Reigns being carried out of the arena on a stretcher and taken to a local medical facility. The attack is a storyline explanation for Reigns’s upcoming hiatus from WWE, as he is scheduled to begin filming a movie role.
During the Raw segment, Jey Uso came to the ring to give an update on his cousin’s condition before calling out The Vision. It was then that Breakker revealed Heyman’s status, adding that with both Reigns and Heyman out of the picture, he and Reed are now unstoppable.
The on-screen partnership between Rollins and Heyman was a major development earlier this year. In an interview before WrestleMania 41, Rollins described it as a “business relationship,” stating that he and Heyman were the “two greatest minds in the history of our industry” coming together to push the business forward.
