We’re currently on the road to WrestleMania 39 and business is picking up. Cody Rhodes won the Royal Rumble in January and in recent weeks WWE has been building up his confrontation with The Tribal Chief on the Grandest Stage of Them All. Last month Cody met Paul Heyman in the ring for a promo that got the wrestling world talking.
Paul Heyman recently discussed the much talked about promo on the Sports Illustrated Media Podcast, and he explained why it’s everything that a performer dreams about.
“That was everything you dream about as a performer. And Cody just set it up masterfully. He told his tale. He took this villainous performer, this person that is attached to the Tribal Chief, the ‘special counsel,’ this ‘wise man,’ this slimy, sleazy scumbag that’s presented on television as Paul Heyman, and within five minutes of him speaking, you have the audience chanting, ‘Thank you, Paul,’ and you have the audience crying based on something I did on a personal level for his father 22 years ago.”
WrestleMania 39 will air live from SoFi Stadium on April 1 and April 2. It’s expected that Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns will main event night 2 of the big show. Stay tuned for updates.
