Time will tell whether Roman Reigns' Special Counsel, Paul Heyman, will appear to have another verbal exchange with Rhodes.

The Wiseman had some strong words for Cody on the red brand last week. Heyman mentioned AEW star and The American Nightmare's brother, Dustin Rhodes, during the promo segment.

Heyman questioned Rhodes' ability to handle the pressure of being the champion. He stated that as champion, The American Nightmare will be on the road for over 200 days and will be representing the promotion in media calls, interviews, and various other aspects.

@WWE @HeymanHustle @CodyRhodes What is @DustinRhodes contract status at All Elite Wrestling?

Baron Corbin alluded to him last week, Paul Heyman mentioned him by name on Monday Night Raw.

Is a WWE return on the card for him 🤔.
