Paul Heyman singles out WWE Superstar as a "commerce facilitator," and it isn't Roman Reigns!

WWE's Paul Heyman wants nothing more than to be The Wiseman to Roman Reigns. He believes if all that people remember from his career is his association with The Tribal Chief, that's okay.

Be that as it may, he applauded Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes for being a worthy flagbearer of the company. Heyman praised Cody's work ethic and the amount of time he puts into every opportunity to sell the product. The Hall of Famer pointed out Rhodes' commitment even on his off days.

In an interview with Logan Paul on the ImPaulsive podcast, The Wiseman discussed the wrestling industry's biggest draws. He named Roman Reigns, CM Punk, Seth Rollins, and Cody Rhodes, but he singled out The American Nightmare. The Wiseman noted that the champion does more behind the scenes than what people might already know:

"He's [Cody Rhodes] a commerce facilitator. He sells tickets, t-shirts, weight belts, and replica title belts that he has signed. He drives commerce. 'Cody, we need you in Detroit. We're at 98%. We really want to sell out. We're going to book you in three-morning shows starting at 6 a.m. in Detroit.' 'Great, I'll be there. If there are any others overnight — I'll do the overnight radio shows, too. I'll do the afternoon prime-time radio, and then I'll get to the arena on time for the show.' My God, man. And he does it on his days off, too," Paul Heyman on Cody Rhodes. [From 42:22 to 42:58]

Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes was the main storyline of the WWE program for the past couple of years, which concluded at WrestleMania 40 when Rhodes dethroned Reigns. However, their paths could cross soon as The Tribal Chief looks to take back the Undisputed WWE Championship.

Heyman reminded Cody that Roman Reigns is once again the undisputed Tribal Chief, which means he wants his title back. The Wiseman then announced Roman's participation in the Men's Royal Rumble Match on February 1, 2025.
