Paul Heyman’s Current WWE Return Status Ahead of Survivor Series 2024 Event

For years, WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman has exhibited a deep and insightful grasp of the professional wrestling landscape, which is why he is such an integral part of the Bloodline storyline. He has been absent from WWE television for a long time and now his return status has been revealed.

Back in June, the new Bloodline kicked out Paul Heyman and brutalized him after Heyman refused to acknowledge Solo Sikoa as his Tribal Chief. Heyman has remained absent from WWE television since then.

In the latest Backstage Pass Q&A with Bill Apter and WrestleVotes, there was an exclusive update about Paul Heyman’s potential return to WWE TV. A fan asked about when Heyman, known as The Special Counsel, might be back. Bill Apter shared that Heyman had recently attended The Big Event convention in Long Island, where he hinted at his return, saying, “Soon enough.” According to Apter, Heyman has been backstage at WWE shows recently, though he hasn’t appeared on TV.

“Paul Heyman was at The Big Event convention this past Sunday in Long Island, and that was the question that everyone was asking. His answer was: ‘Soon enough.’ So he is, from what I understand, I haven’t seen him, but he is allegedly backstage at all the TV shows right now.”

Joey from WrestleVotes stated that WWE might hold off on Heyman’s return until after Survivor Series: WarGames on November 30, which will feature The Bloodline facing off against Bloodline 2.0 in a double-cage match. Joe mentioned that, unless the WarGames storyline is strictly Bloodline vs. Bloodline, WWE might wait until after the event to reintroduce Heyman on screen.

“Nothing specific, but I think it’s worth mentioning now, if the WarGames match is not specifically Bloodline vs. Bloodline, and there’s more stories involved there, I could see them waiting until that’s finished up.”

Paul Heyman previously claimed that his WWE return would set up a year’s worth of storylines. Therefore, we will have to wait and see when the Wiseman will finally make his triumphant return to WWE television.
