Paul Heyman Suggests Current Champion Is Carrying WWE

Paul Heyman praised Cody Rhodes’ commitment as WWE Champion during his appearance on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive Podcast. Rhodes, who captured the Undisputed WWE Championship from Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40, prepares to defend his title against Kevin Owens at the Royal Rumble on February 1st in Indianapolis.

The championship match will include the Winged Eagle WWE Championship, which Owens took from Rhodes in recent weeks. Since defeating Reigns at WrestleMania 40, Rhodes has maintained an active championship schedule.

Heyman Details Rhodes’ Impact On WWE Business

Cody Rhodes is the champion. If there’s anybody right now — my God — he’s a commerce facilitator. He sells tickets, he sells t-shirts, he sells weight belts, he sells replica title belts that he signs. He drives commerce. ‘Cody, we need you in Detroit. We’re at 98%. We really want to sell out. We’re going to book you on three morning radio shows starting at 6 a.m. in Detroit. ‘Great, I’ll be there. If there are any others overnight, I’ll do the overnight radios too. I’ll do the afternoon drive-time radios, and I’ll get to the arena for the WWE show.’ A workhorse. My God, man. And he’s doing it on his days off too. The commitment he has to promote the product goes along with it. It’s all about finding the greatness within people and helping them understand themselves and how to bring it out. That’s what a director does, or a producer does, or whatever a wise man does.
