WWE Hall of Famer accuses Paul Heyman of being a “Master Manipulator” following SmackDown segment 

Paul Heyman made a surprise return to WWE on SmackDown last week, but he did not show up alone, as he came back with CM Punk. The duo were involved in a meeting with Roman Reigns on this week’s show, and WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray took to social media to comment on the segment.

The Original Tribal Chief and the Second City Saint admitted that they did not like each other. Punk repeatedly said that the only reason he was teaming up with the OG Bloodline at the Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 Premium Live Event was due to The Wiseman, whom he has known for many years.

He also revealed that Heyman would owe him a favor. When Roman Reigns tried to find out what it was, he was told to wait until after Survivor Series: WarGames 2024. Paul has had a big impact on both superstars’ careers, and he convinced them to work together at the upcoming PLE.

After the segment aired on SmackDown, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray took to X/Twitter to share a photo of Reigns, Heyman, and Punk sitting together. He was seemingly referring to The Wiseman when he said:

“The Master Manipulator… Masterfully Manipulating…”
