Paul Heyman sends a message to Cody Rhodes ahead of WWE Bad Blood

Paul Heyman sent a message to Cody Rhodes ahead of the WWE Bad Blood Premium Live Event. Rhodes will team up with Roman Reigns against Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa at the show.

Leading up to the Premium Live Event, Rhodes and Reigns came face-to-face for an intense confrontation on the Georgia Tech field. During the face-off, Reigns promised to back his tag team partner at Bad Blood despite having his eyes on the Undisputed WWE Championship.

Heyman sent a message to Rhodes on his Instagram story, expressing gratitude for his words.

​

"I personally and professionally thank @americannnightmarecody for his kind words," wrote Heyman.

Cody Rhodes addressed the possibility of working as a Paul Heyman Guy

Over the years, Paul Heyman has worked closely with Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, CM Punk, and other notable names.

Speaking to Uproxx Sports, Cody Rhodes addressed the possibility of working with Heyman. He said:

​

"I think in another lifetime, I would have made a really great Paul Heyman guy. I have an unflinching respect for Mr. Heyman—not just what he did for my dad, but his own story. Even if I'm the guy that beats The Bloodline, even if that's my role in all this. I like to be in the orbit of Mr. Heyman because there are very few super geniuses as we call them in Sports Entertainment and he's one. If you're on set and you get the chance to work with a Scorsese, for example, it's as a wrestler to be in that orbit, to have those conversations, that's something I enjoy about it."

Heyman has been absent from WWE television since being taken out by the new Bloodline. The Wiseman refused to acknowledge Solo Sikoa as his Tribal Chief and was put through the announcer's table.
