#5. Roman Reigns took out his Wiseman

In 2021, Paul Heyman found himself stuck between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar. On the December 17 episode of SmackDown, Heyman’s comments led to his firing from his position as the special counsel of The Bloodline.

The Wiseman told Reigns that he was protecting him from Lesnar, which didn’t sit well with The Head of the Table. Roman hugged Heyman before firing him and taking him out with a Superman Punch.

In the end, the WWE Hall of Famer swerved everyone by betraying The Beast Incarnate and joining his Tribal Chief once again.

#4. When Samoa Joe choked him out

On the June 5, 2017, episode of RAW, Samoa Joe expressed his desire to fight Brock Lesnar at The Great Balls of Fire. This prompted Heyman to come out on behalf of his client to respond to Joe’s challenge.

The legendary manager acknowledged the threat The Destroyer posed to Lesnar, but still accepted his challenge for a match. However, before Heyman could leave the ring, Joe pushed him to the corner and intimidated him before putting The Oracle in the Coquina Clutch.

#3. CM Punk assaults his former best friend

After a highly successful partnership, Paul Heyman turned on CM Punk at the Money in the Bank 2013, marking the beginning of a heated rivalry. On the November 13 episode of RAW, Heyman was already in a wheelchair due to a prior attack by Punk.

The Wiseman was confronted by The Second City Saint once again. Heyman sent Curtis Axel to deal with Punk, but he failed to do so. The Best in the World entered the ring and brutally assaulted his former best friend with a kendo stick.

#2. Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline didn’t spare Paul Heyman

After Roman Reigns lost the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40, he went on a hiatus. In Reigns’ absence, Solo Sikoa assumed the role of The Tribal Chief and created his own version of The Bloodline.

However, on the June 28, 2024, episode of SmackDown, Paul Heyman refused to acknowledge Sikoa as his Tribal Chief, and paid for it dearly. The New Bloodline attacked the WWE Hall of Famer and put him through the commentary table.

#1. Seth Rollins stomps The Oracle

The latest entry to this list came on this week’s episode (March 2) of WWE RAW. Seth Rollins continued to terrorize The Vision by sending an army of masked attackers.

Paul Heyman was left all alone in the ring after his teammates went to chase the hooded figures. This led to The Visionary appearing from behind and taking out The Oracle with a stomp, leaving him a bloody mess.
