It seems quite obvious that Paul Heyman’s involvement with The Vision is over, because the faction has been floundering, due partly to quite a few injuries to most all involved, for months. It could be nice, nonetheless, if WWE would address this outright, and after tonight, they’ve a straightforward method to achieve this, one which makes a ton of sense. After all, I highly doubt WWE creative will make anything of it.
I believed perhaps it would not be addressed in any respect, but following Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar, with Heyman by his side, making their SummerSlam match official tonight, we did get a backstage segment where Austin Theory addressed Heyman’s lack of communication. As a substitute of going further into it, nonetheless, Heyman principally was like, “Yup, here I’m,” and walked away from Theory. That was it. He wasn’t present for Theory’s match later within the night.
I am unable to remember the last time Heyman was around The Vision. I feel perhaps it was when he told Theory that their tag team championship contract just read “The Vision” not “Theory and Logan Paul,” when Paul went down with injury. That led to the reveal Breakker could take over as champion, however the pair lost the belts of their first defense, in order that matters little, anyway. After that, I’m unsure if I’ve seen Heyman around any of them, at the least not for anything of note.
It also looked like Theory ended things with Maxxine Dupri backstage tonight before whatever it was that they’d occurring even began on-screen for fans. With no Breakker in sight following his steel cage loss to Seth Rollins at Night of Champions, Paul seemingly off TV resulting from his triceps injury, and Reed still out injured, The Vision is dead.
Heyman should not be anywhere near the faction at this point, but I do think fans need some type of explanation, even when it’s a straightforward one where he calls all of them losers and says he’s too busy with Lesnar to be bothered with them anymore. The remaining of The Vision can just dissolve one way or the other, I assume, as Breakker’s future definitely doesn’t look nearly as shiny because it once was, and Theory has all the time felt like a hopeless case. I fear, nonetheless, this can be one more instance of WWE failing to tie up loose ends, with the powers that be just hoping we ignore all of it. The Vision felt has felt like a nasty fever dream since October, anyway.
