Paul Heyman has admitted that he believes in and supports Cody Rhodes, but that doesn’t mean he’ll dethrone Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40.
On this week’s episode of WWE RAW, Heyman had a segment with Rhodes with the American Nightmare vowing that he is hunting The Bloodline from here on.
When Bully Ray took to Twitter to ask fans if they believed in Cody, Heyman responded to his fellow ECW alum.
Dear @bullyray5150,
I BELIEVE in @CodyRhodes.
But that doesn’t cloud my analysis that he will never dethrone my #TribalChief @WWERomanReigns! https://t.co/8r1d0XviYr

Rhodes will challenge Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 and could be performing double-duty at the show.
In the world of professional wrestling, WrestleMania is the pinnacle event that showcases the best talent in the industry. One of the highly anticipated matches at WrestleMania 40 is between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. While many fans are rooting for Rhodes to dethrone Reigns, Paul Heyman, a prominent figure in the wrestling industry, has expressed his support for Rhodes but doubts his chances of winning.
During a recent episode of WWE RAW, Heyman had a segment with Rhodes, where the American Nightmare made it clear that he is targeting The Bloodline, a dominant faction led by Reigns. This confrontation sparked a conversation on social media when Bully Ray, another wrestling veteran, asked fans if they believed in Cody Rhodes. Heyman, known for his outspoken nature, responded to Bully Ray’s tweet.
In his response, Heyman acknowledged his belief in Cody Rhodes but maintained that it doesn’t cloud his analysis that Rhodes will never dethrone his “Tribal Chief,” Roman Reigns. This statement from Heyman has created a buzz among wrestling fans, as they speculate on the outcome of the highly anticipated match at WrestleMania 40.
Cody Rhodes, also known as the son of legendary wrestler Dusty Rhodes, has been making waves in the wrestling industry for several years. After leaving WWE in 2016, Rhodes embarked on a successful independent wrestling career before joining All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in 2019. Since then, he has become one of the top stars in AEW and has held multiple championships.
On the other hand, Roman Reigns has established himself as one of the most dominant forces in WWE. After a successful run as a member of The Shield faction, Reigns has gone on to win numerous championships and has become the face of WWE. His recent character transformation into the Tribal Chief has garnered critical acclaim and has solidified his position as a top heel (villain) in the company.
The clash between Rhodes and Reigns at WrestleMania 40 is expected to be a hard-hitting encounter. Rhodes, known for his technical prowess and high-flying maneuvers, will have to overcome the brute strength and calculated aggression of Reigns. The outcome of this match will not only determine the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion but also potentially shape the future direction of both wrestlers’ careers.
Interestingly, there have been rumors that Cody Rhodes might be performing double-duty at WrestleMania 40. Reports suggest that he could be involved in a huge tag team match on the same night. This adds an extra layer of excitement for fans, as they eagerly await the official announcement of the match card for WrestleMania 40.
While Paul Heyman’s statement might have dampened the hopes of some Cody Rhodes fans, it is important to remember that in the world of professional wrestling, anything can happen. WrestleMania has a history of delivering surprising outcomes and unforgettable moments. Regardless of the result, the clash between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns is sure to be a highlight of WrestleMania 40 and will leave fans on the edge of their seats.
