Impactful Cody Rhodes And Paul Heyman Monday Night RAW Segment Almost Didn’t Happen

This week’s episode of Monday Night RAW showcased a riveting exchange between Cody Rhodes and Paul Heyman, marked by their heated verbal exchanges. In the end, Heyman dropped a nuclear bomb on Rhodes, shocking everyone involved.

According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it was revealed that the original plans for the promo segment was not going to feature Paul Heyman at all.

“Heyman was originally not booked to appear on the show. He was always going to be in Orlando because Brock Lesnar was booked on the show, and Heyman is a key part of all creative when it comes to Roman Reigns, Lesnar and Ronda Rousey.

That changed during last week. The concept of what was planned late last week and what ended up happening was completely different.

The final product was largely put together by Heyman and Rhodes in the direction both wanted to take it.The very much behind-the-scenes key was to make this into the ultimate top match of the year, since that is what the world title match at WrestleMania is.”

WON

Rhodes will be challenging Roman Reigns for the Undisputed Universal Championship at WrestleMania 39. We’ll have to see if Cody will be able to defeat the Tribal Chief and bring an end to his reign of dominance.
