Former Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes appeared on WWE RAW this week to kickstart his Road to WrestleMania. He crossed paths with Paul Heyman, who appeared on the Titantron during the segment but claimed to be backstage. Twitter erupted over the segment as The Wiseman made some disturbing comments.
The Special Counsel to Roman Reigns attempted to warn The American Nightmare about what to expect from their title feud. Heyman tried to provoke Cody Rhodes and, in his attempt, made a controversial comment.
Heyman claimed that Cody Rhodes wouldn't be able to beat Roman Reigns in a man-to-man contest. He then posed a hypothetical question, asking if The American Nightmare was prepared to take on the responsibilities of the champion, which would require him to be on the road for most of the year.
The Wiseman then said Cody Rhodes would end up compromising his marriage like his father Dusty Rhodes did because even when he was home, he was never really 'home.'
Paul Heyman took it further by saying that he wouldn't say anything vulgar like Roman Reigns would keep Cody Rhodes' wife, Brandi Rhodes, happy on cold winter nights. He then said that Reigns is a happily married man, but he isn't.
"I know what you are thinking. I am about to say something vile and vulgar like, 'Oh, don't worry, Cody. On a cold winter night, Roman Reigns will keep your wife warm.' I would never say something like that. Roman Reigns is a happily married man, but I am not. And I assure you, Cody Rhodes., that's when you are going to find out that your WrestleMania dreams will become your own personal nightmare."
Heyman's comments on WWE RAW instantly garnered attention on social media as fans hailed the Wiseman for rattling Roman Reigns' challengers with deeply personal comments.
Twitter erupted in response to Paul Heyman's recent claims on WWE RAW. Here's how fans reacted:
