Paul Heyman recently broke character to reveal the reason behind his WWE hiatus ¹. He confirmed that his hiatus was necessary for the story to progress, as his character was the last link to the original Bloodline ¹. He also mentioned that his character’s absence was needed for Solo Sikoa’s group to stand out as its own entity ¹. Heyman’s hiatus started after he was attacked by the new Bloodline on the June 28th episode of SmackDown ¹. Despite his absence from television, Heyman has been seen backstage at WWE events, and his return might be imminent ¹.
