After almost two months of absence from live television, Roman Reigns was finally seen at the season premiere of SmackDown. He was last seen at WWE SummerSlam 2023, where he defended his title of Undisputed WWE Universal Champion against Jey Uso. After his fourth title defense, he took a break with his return set for October 13th, 2023. But according to Paul Heyman, along with his Tribal Chief, Heyman’s health and beauty have been restored too.

Paul Heyman restores to full glory

Some eagle-eyed fans noticed that there were some slight changes in Paul Heyman’s hair at the latest episode of SmackDown. His greyish, salt-pepper hair was completely black on his Tribal Chief’s return. To this, The Wiseman explained how it all happened in a tweet. He wrote, “The Planet Wiseman revolves around the sun that is my #TribalChief @WWERomanReigns. It is because of my #TribalChief that my healthy glow has returned. I ACKNOWLEDGE MY TRIBAL CHIEF!”. This implied the one person who was the happiest on the return of the 38-year-old star was Paul Heyman. This new look of his was completely contradictory to how he looked at his last appearance. At The Fastlane 2023, Heyman was seen with visibly grey hair. It might be an obvious sign of stress.

Things haven’t been going as planned for Heyman and for the stable. On the June 16th episode of SmackDown, Jey Uso super-kicked Reigns, denouncing him as the Tribal Chief. Since then, the faction has been crumbling and the head of the stable went off-air, leaving Heyman completely in charge. After that, The Bloodline faced defeat at Fastlane at the hands of John Cena and LA Knight, following which The Wiseman took the wise decision of calling Roman Reigns.
