Paul Heyman sparked speculation during this week’s episode of WWE RAW when he was spotted on the phone at ringside during a tag team match involving Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed.
Commentator Michael Cole pointed out Heyman’s phone activity multiple times throughout the match, drawing attention to the moment, which was later highlighted on WWE’s official social media platforms.
Heyman has now addressed the intrigue through a cryptic social media post, indirectly responding to both WWE and Cole’s commentary.
Heyman is known for having his phone with him during matches, historically using it to contact former clients such as Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, and even The Rock. While it could simply have been a conversation with Seth Rollins, many fans are speculating that this phone call is connected to what Heyman has referred to as his “Plan B.”
Paul Heyman Hints at ‘Plan B’ on RAW
In a backstage segment on RAW last week, Heyman hinted that “Plan B” was in development. This has fueled theories that a major storyline shift could be on the horizon, especially with Seth Rollins’ involvement.
Rollins famously became Triple H’s “Plan B” in 2014 when he turned on The Shield and joined The Authority. Now, with Rollins positioned as a top figure in WWE, fans are speculating that he might be preparing to pass that role on to a new superstar—potentially someone Heyman is aligned with.
Heyman commented that Plan B is “still being perfected,” leading many to believe the reveal could be timed for SummerSlam, where Rollins’ next major storyline moment is likely to unfold. With Rollins also holding the Money in the Bank briefcase, all eyes will be on him—and Heyman—heading into the blockbuster event.
