The wrestling world witnessed the ultimate betrayal in WWE history during the WrestleMania 41 Night One main event, where Paul Heyman betrayed both his best friend, CM Punk, and the Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, aligning with The Visionary, aka Seth Rollins.
Remember when CM Punk said Heyman would be on his side during WrestleMania 41, and Heyman rejected Roman Reigns for the first time? That’s where it all began, and everyone saw it coming.
The tension had been building up before the event, with Heyman acting strangely about who he supported. He had been with Reigns and the Bloodline for a long time, but his past with CM Punk made fans wonder where his true loyalty was.
As the triple-threat match got close to the end, with Punk and Reigns fighting, Heyman stepped in holding a steel chair. At first, he seemed unsure, but then he gave the chair to Punk, making it look like he was against Reigns.
Just when everyone thought he had chosen Punk, he shocked the crowd by taking the chair back and siding with Roman Reigns. However, that alliance was short-lived, as Heyman betrayed Reigns as well, ultimately helping Seth Rollins secure a massive victory.
WWE Universe Reacts to Paul Heyman’s Betrayal
Truly speaking, everyone had a feeling that the betrayal was coming when Seth Rollins brought up the “favor” from his side. That’s when fans started to realize that Paul Heyman might betray both Punk and Reigns to side with Rollins. So, while it wasn’t a complete shock to many, it still gave goosebumps to everyone who watched the show.
On social media, fans are saying the same thing. Some are even saying that Roman Reigns is now left with no tribe—everyone from the Bloodline has left him—and they feel sorry for him.

Others are reminding everyone of Heyman’s history of betrayal, criticizing those who thought he would stay loyal to his Tribal Chief.
Even tho it’s shocking Paul turned on Roman you have to sit back and think, WHEN HAS PAUL HEYMAN BEEN LOYAL TO ANYONE? He sold out ECW, he sold out Brock Lesnar, sold out Punk, and now Roman. That man is a snake!!! #WrestleMania
