Paul Heyman needs to betray Roman Reigns in favour of 38-year-old WWE star in order to finish another story

Paul Heyman must betray Roman Reigns in favor of Cody Rhodes to finish another story.

The Bloodline is disintegrating, and it's only a matter of time before Heyman switches allegiances.

The Wiseman is well aware that the era of Roman Reigns has come to an end. The group is ushering in a new narrative thanks to Solo Sikoa bringing Tama Tonga into the group under the leadership of a new undisclosed Tribal Chief.

Heyman was the first to link up with Reigns when the latter turned heel in 2020. As Roman's carefully constructed empire of the past three years begins to crumble, he may be considering a shift in alliances, and who better to turn to than The American Nightmare?

Paul Heyman must abandon Roman Reigns and align with Cody Rhodes to bring him to the dark side

The WWE Universe was taken aback when the 58-year-old veteran turned against Brock Lesnar and aligned himself with Roman Reigns. It would be another shocking moment if the former betrayed The Tribal Chief in favor of Rhodes.

As the Bloodline saga nears its conclusion, it is unlikely that a power-hungry character such as Heyman will go down with the rest. He may seek the next best thing to counsel. So, who will he choose?

The answer is Cody Rhodes. The American Nightmare is arguably the most popular wrestler in the world. It's only a matter of time before he turns to the dark side after being overlooked for a long time while living under his father's legacy.

Paul Heyman must become Darth Sidious to Cody Rhodes' Anakin Skywalker to start another story

In Star Wars lore, Darth Sidious is the main reason why Anakin Skywalker ended up becoming Darth Vader. Anakin was a protagonist, but Sidious groomed him into becoming perhaps the greatest antagonist of all time.

The wrestling world's admiration for Rhodes may pale in comparison to the transformation that could occur if he were to embrace his inner Darth Vader with the assistance of Paul Heyman.

Heyman is not a mere supporting character who will be overshadowed as The Bloodline disintegrates. It may be profitable for him to target Rhodes to showcase an exciting new chapter in the 38-year-old's career.

The Wiseman has been instrumental in the occurrence of several key events in the Stamford-based promotion's long existence. Heyman's abandoning Roman Reigns for Rhodes could be a calculated effort to preserve his survival in the industry.

Cody Rhodes himself said he would have been an ultimate Heyman guy

Given Rhodes' status as the Undisputed WWE Champion, it is improbable that he would associate himself with Heyman. However, the introduction of this unforeseen dynamic is too intriguing to pass up, and Rhodes himself acknowledges this.

In an interview with SI Media, he said that he would have made the best Paul Heyman guy.

“In another lifetime, I probably would have made the best Paul Heyman guy. I probably could have been his absolute ace. It just didn’t work out that way. It worked out that I was the adversary for his number one guy, Roman Reigns. There is part of me that looks at that; even with the questionable decisions that Mr. Heyman makes, part of me looks at that and goes, 'That might have been fun!''' said Cody. [H/t Pinkvilla]

Even though Cody Rhodes did not have the opportunity to associate himself with Paul Heyman, WWE might still consider a potential partnership between them.
