WE Friday Night SmackDown aired yesterday on FOX Network. The evening included build-ups to upcoming fascinating fights, including a stunning swerve at the end between AJ Styles and Cody Rhodes. 

The ongoing Bloodline drama, however, may have been the night's high point. Backstage with Solo Sikoa, Paul Heyman was ordered to "handle" Kevin Owens. Heyman went on to interrupt an in-ring promo, which was both entertaining and heartbreaking.

This article will look at a few probable routes for Heyman after his successful night on SmackDown and exciting in-ring promo with Kevin Owens. This involves a significant shift, joining a former adversary, and even taking a vacation from television entirely.

1. Heyman may leave and support Kevin Owens

As mentioned earlier, Paul Heyman and Kevin Owens had a fascinating chat on WWE Friday Night SmackDown. The WWE Hall of Famer did a promo for The Bloodline and Randy Orton as Owens was doing it. The Wiseman emphasised that there was serious risk associated with this new Bloodline. He begged the former world champion to listen to him as he implored Owens to back down. Then he went on a tirade about how no one pays attention to him and that he can be saved.

2. He might face brutality from Solo Sikoa and The Bloodline

Paul Heyman is not normally seen as a fearless man. He will support courageous people like CM Punk, Brock Lesnar, and Roman Reigns, but nobody will ever mistake Heyman for a daring and fearless individual. Despite this, he has shown exceptional courage on WWE Friday Night SmackDown. He directly questioned Solo Sikoa about the absence of planning in this new Bloodline's attacks. He then yelled at the people in the ring with Kevin Owens.

3. Paul Heyman could go away from the WWE until Roman Reigns makes a comeback

Since WrestleMania XL, Roman Reigns has not been on WWE television. After losing to Cody Rhodes in Night Two's main event, he vanished from sight. Heyman acknowledged that he hadn't spoken to him since the Show of Shows, so it seems he hasn't been in contact with many others in the firm either. Not so well, Paul Heyman, during Reigns' absence. When the WWE Universe cries for Roman Reigns, Paul consistently states he wants the former champion back more than anybody could. He also frequently talks about missing his Tribal Chief. 

4. He could end up being the genius after all

The Prizefighter made an intriguing statement during the Paul Heyman and Kevin Owens promo on WWE Friday Night SmackDown. He believed Heyman was far more deceptive than he appeared to be and that everything was a show. Indeed, the former Universal Champion holds Paul Heyman accountable for the heel faction's recent shift in approach. It appears that Owens believes Heyman is manipulating the situation and bringing about the mayhem that Solo Sikoa, Tonga Loa, and Tama Tonga have caused.
