Paul Heyman is showing growing doubt about Seth Rollins’ ability to lead The Vision, potentially setting the stage for a dramatic return to Roman Reigns. Leading up to WWE Crown Jewel 2025, Heyman’s wavering loyalty raises the question of whether his betrayal could help Roman Reigns regain dominance in the WWE landscape.
In a backstage conversation on RAW, Seth Rollins confronted Heyman about the consequences he might face if he fails to defeat Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel. Heyman bluntly warned Rollins not only risk losing the trust of the WWE locker room but also alienating his own key allies, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. When Rollins pushed back, Heyman suggested he would reconsider why he chose Rollins over Roman Reigns in the first place.
The WWE Hall of Famer’s pointed remarks suggest that if Rollins loses to Rhodes, Heyman could quickly shift his allegiance back to Reigns, the Tribal Chief. Given the complex dynamics among these top stars, this potential betrayal carries significant implications for their ongoing rivalries and alliances.
Possible Betrayal Scenario: Heyman Costs Rollins and Then Turn on Him
Seth Rollins has recently become obsessed with defeating Cody Rhodes, even defying Heyman’s instructions in the process. On the previous SmackDown, Heyman attempted to prevent Rollins from confronting Rhodes after Rollins attacked Randy Orton with a Stomp. Rollins ignored Heyman’s warnings and returned to the ring but ultimately fell victim to Rhodes’ Cross Rhodes maneuver.
At Crown Jewel, Heyman might advise Rollins to use the World Heavyweight Championship belt against Rhodes. However, in a twist, Rollins could accidentally strike Heyman with the belt while aiming at Rhodes. This misstep would allow Rhodes to secure the victory, after which Roman Reigns could appear to deliver a spear to Rollins in retaliation. This sequence would culminate in Heyman re-aligning himself with Reigns and the Bloodline faction once again.
Heyman Could Call in Roman Reigns to Attack Rollins During Crown Jewel
At the climax of the WWE Crown Jewel Championship match, Heyman may signal that it’s time to finish off Cody Rhodes once and for all. Although Rollins and Heyman share a laugh, Heyman’s characteristic grin could indicate that Roman Reigns is about to make an appearance. Heyman would then abandon Rollins, leaving the Original Tribal Chief to inflict punishment on The Visionary.
Following this attack, Reigns could hand the Wiseman title back to Heyman, as they raise their hands together over a defeated Rollins. This shocking moment would leave Rhodes and the audience perplexed, reaffirming Heyman’s loyalty to the Bloodline and Reigns specifically.
Heyman Might Reenact His 2002 Survivor Series Betrayal
Another possibility involves Heyman repeating his infamous betrayal from Survivor Series 2002. If Rollins manages to pin Cody Rhodes after a Stomp, Heyman could suddenly interfere by pulling the referee away and attacking him, nullifying the win. An enraged Rollins would then chase Heyman throughout the RAC Arena in Perth, Western Australia.
The chase would lead to an exit where Reigns would deliver a devastating spear to Rollins. Reigns would drag Rollins back to the ring, allowing Rhodes to hit his Cross Rhodes. This outcome would give Rhodes a clean 4-0 record over Rollins and set up a tense stare-off between Rhodes and Reigns ahead of WrestleMania 40.
These unfolding events add layers of tension to the rivalry between Rollins, Rhodes, and Reigns. Heyman’s potential betrayal keeps The Vision on unstable ground, creating suspense around whether Rollins can finally overcome his losing streak against Rhodes. Heyman might be using this turmoil to suggest cracks within The Vision or hint at a future separation if Rollins cannot prove himself as WWE Champion.
