Paul Heyman dropped a bombshell on Friday’s episode of WWE SmackDown, revealing he hasn’t spoken to Roman Reigns since WrestleMania 40. In a backstage segment during Friday’s episode, Heyman approached SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis to ask him to remove Randy Orton and Kevin Owens from their match at Backlash against The Bloodline.

After watching the crowd cheer on the R-KO Show's first-ever appearance, Paul Heyman marched out to the ring and, after sharing some French words he learned for the occasion, got down to the brass tacks of the situation.

Aldis was pretty upset at what Heyman had to say. Aldis said, "You haven't spoken to Roman Reigns since WrestleMania? So then who pulled him out of the WWE draft?" Heyman then admitted that it was him who made the call.

Roman Reigns was initially eligible for the 2024 WWE Draft, but he has withdrawn from the pool. Roman Reigns last appeared on WWE programming on the second night of WrestleMania 40. There, Cody Rhodes beat him to win the Undisputed WWE Championship.
