Builds for the Wrestlemania 39 main event officially began on this week’s episode of WWE Raw as Cody Rhodes confronted Paul Heyman, the Wise Man of the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns ahead of their title match encounter.
Cody Rhodes came out to the ring and stated that it seems like that his WrestleMania 39 opponent might end up being Sami Zayn as Zayn is hell-bent on taking away the undisputed title from Reigns at the Elimination Chamber PLE, later this month in front of his hometown audience of Montreal.

Paul Heyman then came out to interrupt as Cody Rhodes reminded him how his family broke in 2000. His father, Dusty Rhodes, was doing car commercials so that his car wasn’t taken away. Heyman was the one to call Dusty so that he can be in a paid role in ECW.
Heyman got emotional but he switched gears by mentioning that this isn’t about him or Dusty – this is about Cody Rhodes. However, it’s no easy task to defeat the greatest champion of all time, Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania 39.

Paul also reminded everyone that Dusty trained and prepped Roman in NXT, while he never trained his son Cody Rhodes. Heyman then took a personal shot at the latter by stating the following which apparently Dusty told her,
“You, Cody, were his favorite son. But Roman Reigns was the son he always wanted.”
Cody Rhodes closed the segment by saying that Heyman just made things personal and his boy Roman will pay for it when he takes away the undisputed title personally at WrestleMania 39.
After a long hiatus of almost eight months, The American Nightmare returned to WWE in-ring action at last month’s Royal Rumble 2023 premium live event to win the Men’s Rumble match and thereby confirm his championship opportunity at the Show of Shows in April.
