Undoubtedly one of the most anticipated storylines in WWE history, the Bloodline and Paul Heyman arc is paying off. Fans thought the band might sometimes break up, but the contrary kept happening. Unfortunately, Paul Heyman is no longer a part of the Bloodline as it expands.
Although Heyman’s departure was long anticipated, his leaving was dramatic. The sending-off of Heyman revealed how harsh and brutal Solo Sikoa’s new Bloodline is. Heyman has been an essential part of The Bloodline narrative from the start. His devotion to Roman Reigns and his function as the Wiseman were crucial in the formation of this group.
Heyman gave Roman the voice he had always craved and helped him become more self-assured in the ring. Heyman and Solo also had some chemistry when Roman left, but it was becoming obvious that the group was struggling. The dynamics of the New Bloodline have altered, yet it has been revitalized by the inclusion of new members. With the ongoing civil war inside the Bloodline, Heyman took the bullet and was at the receiving end.
With what they now have, WWE may propose an entirely new multiverse. Even if Heyman’s exit guarantees that The Bloodline won’t have a talker, their most recent vocabulary has been violent. However, fans have speculated a new Wisemen might take over the villainous stable. The man in question is none other than former WWE manager Armando Estrada.
Armando Estrada managed Umaga during his reign of terror
Armando began his wrestling journey in 2004 after starting with OVW, which was a developmental territory for WWE. After that, in 2006, Estrada signed a developmental agreement with WWE and changed his identity to Osama Rodriguez Alejandro, a wrestler who was half Arab and half Cuban.
Paul Heyman enhanced his role and gimmick upon taking over as booker of the area. He started to take on the persona of a comic heel who desired to take over OVW. Known by the moniker “The Big Lalo,” he declared himself to be the Dictator of OVW and called the region Los Kentuckos. WWE management became aware of the gimmick due to its success. In the spring of 2006, he was quickly promoted to the WWE main roster.
During a period in WWE history when managers were virtually phased out, Estrada made his managerial debut on the Raw brand. After changing his name to Armando Alejandro Estrada, he oversaw “The Samoan Bulldozer” Umaga’s career. With his energetic introductions, fans were fully behind Umaga and Estrada during their entrances and enjoyed their run.
Throughout his managerial run, Armando led Umaga’s feud with top stars of the company including John Cena, Bobby Lashley, Ric Flair, and many more top-tier talents. Fans loved the involvement of Estrada and would have loved to see more of the duo during this time.
Armando Estrada might be the perfect Wiseman for Bloodline after Paul Heyman’s demolition.
As Solo and Co. brutally smashed Heyman through the table on the recent SmackDown, fans are thinking of some big changes in the Bloodline. The WWE Universe is expecting that the fearless Armando Estrada might be the perfect Wiseman in the new version of Solo’s Bloodline. “Honestly it could work,” wrote a user on the possible return of the former WWE talent.

Another user supported the possible event stating “Damn that would be a blast from the past”. “Armando being the advocate of Solo’s bloodline would be amazing!” wrote another fan in anticipation. The WWE Universe is loving the idea of having Estrada back in the company given his success with Umaga.
Interestingly, Armando is no stranger to the Bloodline as he has managed Jacob Fatu during one of his managerial appearances. Estrada returned to professional wrestling in March 2019 when he took on the position of manager for Jacob Fatu, the nephew of Umaga. The partnership between Estrada and Bloodline would bring smiles to a lot of fans given the history of Estrada.
