Paul Heyman has praised Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes for his commitment to being the face of the company.
Since his return in March 2022, Rhodes has featured prominently in WWE publicity, with this exposure increasing the current top champion.
During a recent appearance on Impaulsive, Heyman discussed the dedication that Rhodes has for his role, saying:
“Cody Rhodes is the champion. If there’s anybody right now, and my God the business that — he’s a commerce facilitator. He sells tickets, he sells t-shirts, he sells weight belts, he sells replica title belts that he signs, he drives commerce.
“‘Cody we need you at a — we need you in Detroit. We’re at 98%, we really want to sell out, we’re going to book you on three morning radio shows starting at 6am in Detroit.’ ‘Great, I’ll be there, if there’s any others overnight, I’ll do the overnight radios too. I’ll do the afternoon drive time radios and then I’ll get to the arena in time for the show.’
“My God man, and he does it on his days off too. The commitment that he has to promote the product, that goes along with it too.”
Recently, Seth Rollins admitted to a feeling of “jealousy” towards Rhodes after he won the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 40 in April 2024.
Rollins noted that “for the last ten years, it’s been Roman… then Cody comes back” and receives the top-tier treament.
During his Impaulsive appearance, Heyman also discussed his extreme transformation in the latter days of his run in Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline.
He also shared his thoughts on WWE Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker, describing “the greatness that lives inside” him.
