News regarding Paul Heyman’s status with WWE following segment with Oba Femi

During WWE Sunday Night’s Main Event on September 6th 2026, Paul Heyman was approached backstage by Cathy Kelley following Bronson Reed’s return and attack on Oba Femi during his match against Bron Breakker. Before Heyman could respond to Kelley, he received a phone call from an unidentified person and walked away. The caller’s identity has not been revealed.

Heyman last appeared on the October 12th episode of RAW, where he approached Femi, who told Heyman that he was not a “Paul Heyman Guy.” WrestleVotes Radio reports that WWE is now considering a creative idea that would see Paul Heyman return to television relatively soon.

According to sources familiar with the situation, the idea would involve Heyman in a storyline outside of The Vision, while still maintaining a connection to the group through Bron Breakker. The creative direction would allow Heyman to branch out into another program without completely distancing himself from The Vision.
