Paul Heyman did not take orders from the Tribal Chief.
On the May 3rd episode of WWE SmackDown, Paul Heyman revealed that he has not spoken to Roman Reigns since WrestleMania XL.
WWE SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis was not pleased upon learning this news, wondering who pulled Roman from the draft if it wasn't Roman himself.
Heyman confirmed that he made the decision to pull Reigns out of the draft, saying he could not bring Roman back into the current chaos that exists within the Bloodline.

Reigns lost the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL.
With Roman absent, Solo Sikoa has seemingly been calling the shots in the Bloodline. He made the decision to kick out Jimmy Uso and bring in Tama Tonga.
Later in the evening, Heyman appeared on the RKO Show and was asked by Randy Orton and Kevin Owens who the Tribal Chief is. Heyman replied, "The whole world knows there is only one Tribal Chief," leading to Sikoa and Tonga attacking Owens and Orton.
The two teams are set to clash at WWE Backlash.
