WWE SmackDown 12/17/21: Roman Reigns' Alliance With Paul Heyman Is Over

WWE Universal champion Roman Reigns has seemingly broke up with Paul Heyman.

After taking a week away on a night that saw Brock Lesnar wreak more havoc on the blue brand by attacking Sami Zayn yet again and hunting down WWE Official Adam Pearce to tell him a rather threatening story, Universal Champion Roman Reigns returned to Friday Night SmackDown.



As noted, The Bloodline was also noticeably disrupted. For a moment, it seemed as if Special Council Paul Heyman actually began advocating for his one-time client Lesnar, even going so far as to say that The Conqueror may be the “future” Universal Champion.

On tonight's episode of SmackDown, Roman Reigns emerged out in the ring along with Paul Heyman and The Usos. Roman asked if Paul knew that Brock would be back at SummerSlam? Did he know that Brock would be at Madison Square Garden? Did he know that the suspension would be lifted?

In the end, Reigns declared that Heyman is fired and dropped him down with a Superman punch. Reigns was about to put more offense by putting a chair around Heyman's neck, but Lesnar would make the save, taking out Roman Reigns with back-to-back two F5.
